This is good news for software companies. They can start charging rent or a fee to have your .Tld hardcoded in. Let’s face it, if there are thousands of new .tlds most of which will be pointless then financial compensation will be the only motivating factor for software companies to give a crap about most of them.

I’m a programmer. I agree.

Without getting into the details, there are tons of places where software validates domains.

As an example, one of the most common is EMAIL addresses. Lots of code looks far a pattern in the email address like:

[a bunch of letters]@[a bunch of letters].[2 or 3 more letters].[2 more optional for country]

I think though, that recent TLDs like .MOBI (4 letters) have already rooted out a lot of these problems for most vendors.

There are sure to be people using a new “myEmail@coolsite.sports” who have problems, though!

It’ll be fun. Not quite Y2K proportions, but fun.
