Submission + - NZ Banks want .bank domain to reduce fraud

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday February 27, 2007 @10:43PM

An anonymous reader writes: Banks want a new internet classification to help combat online fraud. Banks' internet addresses would then read westpac.bank.nz, for example, rather than westpac.co.nz. The . bank address would join the five current "moderated" addresses with restricted memberships. http://www.stuff.co.nz/3976481a28.html

EMB Numbers writes: C-Net says last year saw a 131 percent jump in digital sales, but overall the industry still saw about a 4 percent decline in revenue. http://news.com.com/2100-1027_3-6162729.html?part= rss&tag=2547-1_3-0-5&subj=news At the opening of the conference, some of the panel members lashed out at Jobs. Members said Jobs' call three weeks ago for DRM-free music was "insincere" and a "red herring." Apple has maintained a stranglehold on the digital music industry by locking up iTunes music with DRM......and "it's causing everybody else who is participating in the marketplace — the other service providers, the labels, the users — a lot of pain. If they could simply open it up, everybody would love them."
