UPDATE: the new gTLD info of the day (Monday)

Investor talks about new gTLDs
(End of the article)
"Clearly 3 out of 4 new gtld's are underwater by number of registrations. Of course the number of registrations may have little to do with the actual commercial success of a gtld. It just happens to be one of the only pieces of data we can judge by early on. Number of registrations may not matter to an end user. Then again, it may! I will judge by the total amount of money spent to advertise and promote any single gtld. That includes all Radio, TV, Magazine, Billboards etc."http://www.ricksblog.com/2015/12/20-year-post-part-2-gtlds/

Le contentieux des nouveaux noms de domaine (new gTLDs)
Afin d’élargir le champ d’exploitation commerciale de l’internet, un processus de création de nouvelles extensions a été lancé en 2011. Progressivement, des dénominations de sites web, plus conviviales et intuitives (.hotel, .flowers, .book, etc.), deviennent disponibles, au sein des nouveaux domaines ainsi ouverts. Certaines autorités publiques, grandes entreprises ou organismes professionnels ont par ailleurs souhaité accroître leur visibilité sur le net en créant leur propre domaine (.bmw, .siemens, .paris, .gent, .amsterdam, .alsace, .brussels), dont elles se réservent l’usage ou qu’elles mettent à la disposition des tiers intéressés, selon leurs stratégies respectives.
