I highly Doubt there will be a lack of interest by corporate sponsors as corporations today fully recognize the significance of the web. Shame on ICANN for allowing anyone to outright own a full TLD extension. Imagine if trademark law allowed for Apple to sue anyone with the word Apple in it or prevent anyone with that word in the name from forming. Well it’s the same situation here and these fools need to follow the direction of our well established trademark laws. There job is to help the web continue to grow not contain it.

What should have been done is that these be simply opened up to the public allowing for the reusing of names but for different industries / categories thereby abiding by trademark law protection and mimicking their policies.
