Even before Ta.co, people suspicion Taco.com was owned by Taco Bell - Sure, some people will type taco.com instead of ta.co. But that confusion isn’t new.
Yesterday I wrote about how I think Ta.co is a great shortcut web address for Taco Bell, and perhaps better than Taco.com.
Many people disagree, and one commenter (on the first post about ta.co) asked how much traffic will end up at Taco.com by mistake.
First things first, I don’t think people landing at Taco.com instead of ta.co will hurt Taco Bell. The domain name is owned by an IT company, so it’s not like ... read more ...
NBC rising SeeSo streaming service? - Company registers domain names for what appears to be a streaming TV service.

Perhaps we can piece it together with some clues.

These are early findings and the following is often the first time publicly that the information is announced.

Neue Top Level Domains: zögerliche Nutzung der Marken-Privilegien -
(Bild: cylonka Bsg )
Ein eigenes Regelwerk garantiert Markeninhabern attraktive Privilegien bei den neuen Internet-Adressen. Zur Verwunderung der Domainbranche werden die aber nur zögerlich genutzt, wie ein aktueller Bericht der Internetverwaltung ICANN zeigt.

New TLD foe news is worthless - Getting answers to the wrong questions…
ICANN released a report yesterday called “Phase I Assessment of the Competitive Effects Associated with the New gTLD Program”, undertaken by an outside research firm.
I found the report mostly worthless. This is partly because the new TLD program’s focus on increasing choice and competition is based on the wrong premise.
That premise is that there is a lack of good available second level domain names to register.
The reality is there are plenty of good ... read more ...

Most of the time, when a panel comes to this determination, it doesn’t consider RDNH. ... read more ...
