[staffjam]

Quite an interesting read. I for one agree with them.

Extract:

After all, a recent CBI survey found that:

“Despite the publicity surrounding their creation, the vast majority of companies are not particularly interested in sectoral domains (e.g. .travel, .info etc). The only sectors to register significant interest in these domains are public sector organisations… Retail (79% of respondents), financial services (68%) and construction/engineering (56%) businesses consider these domains ‘not at all important.” (http://www.cbi.org.uk/pdf/TheroleofITservices.pdf)

Here at Sedo, we recommend that businesses not be distracted by the hype and the scaremongering surrounding the potential new extensions.

Registrars and companies like Sedo tend to hype up anything. Still they are hyping up .me which is another overrated TLD...
