[QUOTE="namesdencom, post: 2257125, member: 5171"] Seeker, thx for your good input "What's to stop even more extensions becoming available in the future". You're right, round II for 2020 is already being progressed as I have read. These new gTLDs are designed with 2 objectives. 1) Get domainers to invest, which means more money for the registries.. a) today at the domain conference in the Netherlands is not dotcom day. and b) Donuts (owner of the most GTLD extensions) has made it clear that they are not interested in domainers buying their names. I can't totally agree on that since 2) End users, in which case most of the premium keywords are set at a much higher price than the normal reg fee for these gtlds. I agree with the premium thing. As you know most new businesses don't work however so those premiums should eventually find their way to the aftermarket IMO. I also agree that this is likely not a months but rather year timeframe for a GTLD aftermarket. Actions like the million dollar ad campaign this month from .xyz should help but at the end of the day as the song says "Give me a reason" and wiuth a severely depressed economy there seems to be little reason thus limited market for domains .com or otherwise. On the other hand who saw the Chinese CHIPS rush coming so anything is possible in a globally connected world [/QUOTE]
