What's up with that? Is there something I'm missing or are they just selling tonga [1] domains under the toronto label now?

You're right it's just a re-purposed .TO domain, but at the time we met with the Tonic guys and came up with the idea the new TLDs hadn't happened yet.
AND we figured it was going to be better than something like .TORONTO (All these new TLDs have suffixes longer than the actual domain names...)

#4With uncommon domain extensions I always fear that they might jack up the rates at some point in the future, going from $20/year to $250/year or even more.
Still, my personal site and email is on a fairly obscure country TLD, and I hope they will never do something like that, being a country and all. With these new TLDs for which companies paid large amounts of money, who knows what might happen?
Does anyone know if such a bait and switch has ever happened in domain-land?

.TV was close, they launched and segregated a bunch of domains off as "premium" and charged inflated prices. Then there was (IIRC) an episode where they wanted to renew a bunch of landrush domains at "premium" prices. They also don't allow "premium" domains to switch registrars.
The new .WED rules are crazy. Year 3 renewal is $25,000. They think the next "Brad and Janet" want to be able to use BradAndJanet.WED for their wedding.

#7The number of new TLDs is rather ridiculous.
That said, I can't say I mind all of them. Scotland and Scottish culture will finally get their own domain - .scot - which will be great.

#8I welcome the new domains, how else would my bike get the web page it deserves? http://kyle.bike/

great.scot is already taken.

#10Does anyone know of listings or a resource guide for when each TLD is going live and the registrars that are selling them?
I have a couple of domain hacks that I've been interested in that I want to use for a project.
