> this will do nothing to improve the size of the name space

It opens new options for "local" addresses: biketour.berlin biketour.paris antics.london etc

wether this will stick is another story.



biketour.berlin.ge biketour.paris.fr antics.london.uk

Nope, there's room for all of those things in the current scheme.

Might I add that none of those cities are the only city to have that name, and that the country part carries real information?


:-) Your post nicely shows why having a top level domain 'Berlin' could be good idea: without it you would not be able to find those German bike tours. Germany has top level domain de for 'Deutschland'; ge = Georgia (the country)


Fudge, that was just a typo. I did mean de. Too late now. (On Dvorak, d is on h and g is on u, but that's still a bad one.)


I was gonna say communities like Catalan speakers (.cat) have a good excuse, but then I remembered that ICANN already gave these people their own TLDs.
