I suspect the folks who spend $185K + yearly fees will be able to afford engineering staff that will point out that a naked TLD is unlikely to work for the great unwashed masses. And if they don't, they'll get exactly what they deserve. What I suspect you'll more likely see will be macbook.apple or japan.cisco or copyright-enforcement.universal. Maybe. Regards, -drc
