Another one of your brilliant comparisons

Asia is the world's largest and most populous continent. It covers 8.6% of the Earth's total surface area (or 29.4% of its land area) and, with almost 4 billion people, it contains more than 60% of the world's current human population.

Antarctica has no permanent residents, but a number of governments maintain permanent research stations throughout the continent. The number of people conducting and supporting scientific research and other work on the continent and its nearby islands varies from approximately 4,000 in summer to about 1,000 in winter

Anway Antarctica already has its own TLD: .aq

I don't care for .asia any more than I care for .jobs for example, just unsure if I should laugh or pity those who will spend their cash on another useless extension

I can't wait for .atlantis - once it's found

Maybe someone with the .EU experience can give a word on that.

I've seen some .eu's fetch over xx.xxx, I think if you can get your hands on some good single word .asia generics, it's another opportunity to cash in. Whether .asia takes off is another story, I personally don't see countries changing or widely using a continent TLD in place of their own CC TLD.

I can't wait for .atlantis - once it's found

They have underwater hotels now, so I anything is possible

I'm looking forward to a year and half of "XYZ Company is using .asia OMFG!!" posts each day.

LOL so true

Anyway the TM holders will fork out $$$$ in defensive registrations as usual, at least enough to keep the registry afloat. Who cares if it is another dead zone

Another one of your brilliant comparisons

Just listing one of the continents as an example, I could have used .southamerica, .northamerica .africa etc...My point is simple to most people. Why the need for a continent tld when we already have country specific ones. My comparison had nothing to do with population or anything else, but for some reason you find the need to run to wiki, grab some facts and post them without even referencing wiki as the source...you took it word for word. Guess you really want us to believe you actually know what your talking about.

Even more ridiculous is how you recently claimed that I take shots in unrelated threads even though my post was on topic:

and then you do it yourself right here a couple days later. What did you call it, oh yes, "A true act of a coward".

It's called making up ground.

And anyone could figure out they were Wiki articles.

Now I just feel sorry for you.
