And no doubt a year or two down the line Teledesic will sue the
shoe-insole-manufacturer-in-Dubai for this. And, this Teledesic will even
realize that problem today, it will immediately register teledesic.biz,
teledesic.bus, and, of course, teledesic.xxx. Together with all the at
least tens of other TLDs, and the 200 or so country codes. This
replicating the current .com problem, umm, may be around 300 times? Smart.
Very smart, these new TLDs.
