Sponsored TLD Unnecessary? Ron Andruff Responds to Forrester Research

Sponsored TLD Unnecessary? Ron Andruff Responds to Forrester Research
A recent report released by Forrester Research last week has put the .travel sponsored top-level domain under the microscope — calling the sTLD “Nice, But Not Necessary”. Although this 4-page report (sold for US$49.00) has singled out the .travel domain, its critical arguments might very well apply to the nature of most sponsored top-level domains currently in existence — or under review: ‘.mobi’, ‘.jobs’, ‘.museum’, ‘.coop’, ‘.xxx’ and others. CircleID has invited Ron Andruff, President and CEO of Tralliance, the registry for .travel, to respond to arguments made in this report.
