www.dotusa.com<\/a> be using a .com <\/i>address, rather than a .usa <\/i>address?<\/p>\nCould it be that it’s because these won’t actually be deployed until 2002?<\/p>\n
Could it be that “they will initially be viewed on the Internet by making a slight alteration to your web browser.”<\/i><\/p>\n
And if that’s so, why did the very next spam I get, from the same source, say, “The latest domain name extension has arrived .USA!!! It’s the fresh, new, exciting web address that is taking the world by storm”<\/i>? How can it be taking the world by storm when nobody can actually go to any such domain yet?<\/p>\n
Could it be that this is another set of “rogue TLDs” that won’t work for most people unless they point their DNS pointers to the TLD Network servers (hosters, registrars and vendors of, not uncoincidentally, .usa<\/i>)?<\/p>\n
Could it all be a huge rip-off, playing on American patriotism at home and a desire to be associated with America abroad?<\/p>\n
