Great. There's a Dutch bank called ING. I can't wait for all the phish.ing to start. IMHO all those new TLDs are just a huge mistake and a blatant money-grab.

I don't quite get why Google are allowed to operate as TLD market these days.

Google went from allowing you to buy domains with one click to now showing you logos of companies you can buy them from, not even making them clickable

The DNS is serious internet infrastructure, not your play toy.

The practice of selling TLDs to every two bit dotcom was a mistake and needs to end.
