Both Amazon and Google applied for .dev. Sorry Pow users!
Like .onion, this will could be grandfathered in and the application rejected.

#132Earlier quoted context omitted.
Except that, as discussed above, "youtube" by itself is not a valid host name. It would have to be "mysite.youtube" Still easier than you having "mysite.bobsvideo.fail" I agree, but frankly most people don't even find sites via the domain name. They'll google "Bobs Video" and see what comes up.
why wouldn't "youtube" be valid hostname?
Same reason that "com" and "net" aren't. Root nodes aren't, from my understanding, valid names for machines.
Edit: Seems I'm wrong. See discussion downthread:

#134How can they lump .goog and .aaa with the likes of .app and .mail. .goog and .aaa are not "generic" in any sense. I think they should at least re-categorize and call the .goog and .apples brandedTLDs

There was a $108,000 "evaluation fee" per gtld, so that's over 11 million USD in fees.
It's actually $185,000

"The evaluation fee is US$185,000. Applicants will be required to pay a US$5,000 deposit fee per requested application slot when registering. The deposit will be credited against the evaluation fee. Other fees may apply depending on the specific application path. "

#137It's nice to see that the australian cancer research society thought their $100k would be better spent on domain speculation than actually funding cancer research.

#138Top 20 most wanted TLDs: $ cut -d, -f1
It is a real shame there isn't an association of independant app developers that applied for the .app TLD. I am dubious about Amazon or Google owning it, as they may restrict it only to apps that are in their respective stores.
Re: New gTLD Applied-For Strings
#139A great way to squeeze the last dollars out of domains, now that all are squatted. The application fees were $5k registration + $185k or $47k evaluation, so they collected something between $100 million and $366 million dollars, annual fees excluded. I can see two possible outcomes: 1. all conflicts are resolved by agreements/bidding, process goes smoothly. But usage nevers picks up, and in a years'time it's all mone…
"now that all are squatted."
I find lots of fine domain names for TLDs that aren't .com

FWIW, in google's list, what the heck is ".srl" supposed to be? (maybe the italian/spanish/romanian equivalent of .llc) EDIT: I meant, is google really asking for "a domain for limited liability company acronym in some romance languages" or is there something that makes more sense?
That's what .gmbh is, in German, so that sounds about right.
