From such a well respected author, the suggestion that some competition should be classed as arrogance comes as a surprise to say the least. The world is no longer a Pangaea; it fragmented a long time ago. The one stop shop Pangaea has become a group of competing countries all with various agenda, all contactable using the same telephone numbers, but of course via different country codes. The DNS is following the same path. Competition is to be expected, yet the aim is not always to smash the opponent. Sometimes it’s there to add intrinsic value (whether or not the other side chooses to see it that way). With the DNS for example, as well as Dotcoms, there are now Dashcoms. Yes, success breeds copycats. It has also been known to breed evolution, innovation and improvement.

Getting into the gTLD Game "Without Peril"....and Without Spending $185,000 (plus potentially unlimited yearly costs).........Anyone can now create their own set of Domains and/or TLDs at no cost and without reference to ICANN, simply by registering new Dashcom (instead of Dotcom) Domains.......Dashcoms are brand new web addresses in the format "sport-com", "rock-music" and "high-heels" (you can even use Facebook Emoticons like musical notes etc).........With users and members in over 90 countries worldwide, resolution is via an APP......although ISP links are now available to negate that need (ISP links that are also available to ICANN).

The contentious XXX extension will have no affect on adult Dotcom websites; adult Dotcoms will remain unchanged. Furthermore, with so much adverse publicity – including threats by Governments to block XXX country by country – many will look to avoid the XXX webspace completely. For those compelled to reserve domains defensively, it’s likely that anonymity will be required as names get set as Unresolvable and/or Unknown. The outcome? Perhaps a mass of “For Sale” signs by speculators looking to offload their XXX investments.

All ICANN has done here is to openly advance fragmentation of the Web and encourage people to find new ways of making the most of their surfing experience. The result is that Internet users are now bypassing ICANN to create their own unique, memorable and personalised range of brand new Dashcom Domains and TLDs, totally free.

Sites such as Dashworlds.com now provide brand new Dashcom (not Dotcom) domain names. Dashcoms are addresses in format "business-com", "paris-fashion", "social-network" (and of course any XXX your heart might desire). Totally outside the realm and control of ICANN, Internet users can create any domain or TLD in any language, instantly and at no cost. With users and members in over 90 countries worldwide, resolution is via an APP; although new ISP Links are available to make this unnecessary (ISP Links that are also available to ICANN).

Having just one Internet floating in infinite cyberspace is like saying you can comfortably visit all America by living on Brooklyn Bridge. So now, just as in America (and everywhere else in the world) the Internet has more than one option

Running alongside ICANN, Dashworlds.com offers a parallel Internet resolving both Dashcom and Dotcom Domain Names. Dashcoms are new web addresses in the format http://business-com/ or http://stock-market/ (Examples Only). So instead of applying to ICANN, paying millions to ICANN and then having to jump through numerous hoops and interests groups, you can now create any TLD and/or domain instantly and at no cost. With users and members in over 90 countries worldwide, resolution is via an APP (although ISP links are provided to negate that need). Having just one Internet in infinite cyberspace is like saying you can go anywhere in the USA as long as you only use Route 66. But now, just as in the USA (and everywhere else in the world) the Internet has more than one option.

Alternative DNS is already here

Non-ICANN Domain names are already available at http://dashworlds.com/
