Podcast & the official Verisign statement on .WEB

Podcast can be boring and not so many have the time to listen to them but it really starts to make sense (to me) with new gTLDs. The latest Domain Name Wire Podcast tells a lot about how the domain name market develops in China: an opportunity to understand why it makes sense to secure a generic new domain name today as a future investment.
