Who are TLD Networks Ltd anyway? The whois for dotsex.com (see e-mail addresses) lists them as being in Guernsey UK, but they are not a registered company in the UK. The contact is Mr Jones with an e-mail account of "simonfuller2". I'm guessing that it may be difficult to get money back if the promised claims are not met.

If you read the information it only works for people who install a plug-in into their browser, or people who add the name server run by "TLD Networks" to their list of root servers. From what I can tell ICANN has no plans to approve this as a new gTLD, so I seriously doubt it's worth $US5, let alone $US59 a year. TLD Networks also runs a number of other unapproved TLDs. I believe this could lead to a number of problems. Lets say ICANN does decide to create a .SEX gTLD, and as with .BIZ .INFO etc it goes to tender. It is quite possible that someone other than TLD Networks will win the tender. What happens to all those organisations that have paid $US59 for the years access? Also, what will happen with people who have the browser plug-in installed? I guess you can see where I'm heading with this email, so I'll leave it there and let you decide if it's really worth paying money for a service that is run by a purely commercial organisation and has no real support from the Internet Community.
