This is a complete and total mess. Worse, when registering with one of these corp tld operators, how much can you trust they'll be around in XX number of years to keep your domain name alive?
Google will win big out of this, not because of the number of tld's they will own, but because the browser's address bar will become useless without a search engine.
Good opportunity for next-gen domain name resolvers!
Last time I used AirBNB, I rented an apartment, and 1 hr after I arrived the landlord showed up banging on the apartment door, furious, threatening to call the police.
Thankfully, my social skills calmed her down, but now the apartment leasee (lessee?) is knee deep in legal matters. Clearly the lessee broke the lease, however I'm sure she didn't really understand so at the time.
AirBNB needs to be much clearer in the listing process of the possibility and legal ramifications of violating one's lease. Especially since it ends up hurting not just the people listing apartments, and apartment owners, but also AirBNB customers who trust the listings on the service to be legitimate and lawful.
