All things being equal, if the new tld of .hp was granted it would be a competitive advantage that ICANN made an “exception” for. It would be an exception for an advantage.

Bring the noise. “Let the games begin” as David said.

If ICANN is going to allow .dell and .ibm it will be interesting to see how they handle letting Hewlett Packard have .hp

Changing to a new brand to meet ICANN’s naming rules would require a serious rebranding exercise the cost of which would make ICANN’s $185,000 + $25,000 a year pale into insignificance.

‘Why would anyone need .hp?’

Hell, why would anyone *need* a gTLD? It also seems the majority of all companies or markets are wanting ‘exceptions’ to the proposed layout.

I hope ICANN is feeling the pressure from these blunders.
