My point was, apparently Internic's contract to provide addresses ran out after 5 years on March 31, and both the US govt and the European Union (I think) were arguing about new categories, doing away with all of the current ones, so that, for instance, it will be easier for schools and parents to block out any ".sex" sites, etc.,.

Does anyone have any more recent news/ conclusions? I don't want to buy a .com address, and then find out that all .com addresses cease to exist in the near future?

Thanks all! Greetings from wet London!
