I would like to take this opportunity to ask, What happened to .web?
.web in my view is the only possible challenger to .com, but it has been years, and those dispute seems endless with no update.

Is .biz not in the running? Or .site? Why not .hot? The true challenger to .com is clearly .wtf.
Using .web doesn't even make sense, because it's a protocol. If you're example.web, your website is www.example.web? Kind of redundant. And then is your mail server mail.example.web? But it's an SMTP server, not a web server.
What you really want to replace .com isn't some other general purpose TLD of the same kind anyway, it's the domain-specific ones. Let Ford Motor Company have ford.car and the Ford Foundation have ford.org and the Ford Theatre have ford.theatre and the Ford Cup have ford.tennis etc.
Which also prevents this:
Because then Nissan Motor could be using nissan.car instead of having a bitter dispute with Nissan Computer because they registered the name first.
.web is about one particular technology on the .net :)
