ICANN Decision Hurts My Head
ICANN announced it would let registrars own registries and vice-versa. Great analysis on the decision can be found here. I think it comes down to this: the economy sucks. I think this decision creates the most money as it will encourage registrars to put a moat around their own new gTLDs. A game of one-upmanship and splintering loyalties will prosper. Moving domains to different registrars could become a thing of the past, at last for these new gTLDs. But hey, who can really be surprised. ICANN has always acted with its own interests and put the interests of transparency and domain owners on the backburner.
