This whole thing is entirely based on a fiction: that greatname.god is
better than feqgergerger.com. But in fact, people now and forever look
for names under .com. If you're the Shmoozle Corporation, your users
will never ever hunt for you at shmoozle.god if there is a shmoozle.com
-- unless, of course, they use a .god-favoring search engine..
If Greatname is unavailable, change your company's name, or deal. More
TLDs don't make it any better -- all they do is make end-users need to
buy more domains if they want to prevent the chance of confusion. Then
again, for you name-merchants, I guess that's a good thing. Myself, I
miss the days when if you had greatname.org the NIC wouldn't ALLOW you
to register greatname.com and greatname.net.
