Solutions to the problem (Score 1)

What do more TLDs do? - Someone already has the domain name you want? Sometimes people or businesses have the same name which is possible in real life but not as an internet domain name. I hope it's obvious that more TLDs doesn't solve this. This is only a problem because outside of the internet many different people and businesses have the same name. Should we try to force people to pick different names or make the internet allow 2 things to have the same name? Your only other option is to have some entities have different internet names than their real names. In some cases this isn't fair nor is it feasible but I don't feel it should be ICANNs job. - Expensive entry fee into .biz? This is an attempt to quench squatting? Even if .biz names get a reputation of being the 'good' businesses it will only make them more desirable and prevent squatting on the ones that are judged as being in low demand that someone probably only ends paying a few thousand to the squatter anyway. Instead their few thousand will go to the registrar. - Are the extra domains supposed to add at least some categorizing to the sites they access? It seems many posts here are suggesting many fine additions to the categories. Heck, take it one step further and let the businesses themselves register categories (which anyone could then include themselves in). It seems like it's heading this way. As people have pointed out, registered sites don't always keep to their category (Like .edu not being schools) I think I have a better idea. I don't care if they add more TLDs but I think they should combine the naming domains. That would mean if nike.com is registered you can't register nike.org or nike.net. So really you just register for domain nike rather than for them all. This way nike doesn't have to worry about that guy that owns nike.net (which just has the default Apache page and redhat on it) Since ICANN seems to want the TLD to be a category indicator Nike could then change their category indicator if they wanted (or actually automatically have access to them all). The category indicator can then be migrated out of the site name and into its domain record. This record could have some data added to it and eventually turn DNS into an open searchable database by category and extra info. I admit that the category indicator wouldn't be any more effective than TLDs are now but at least it would separate the problem from the domain name itself.
