This change allows the ISP's subscribers to browse all of ORSC's Web locations, including '.cars,' '.family' and others. Yet the same browsers will still work with all of ICANN's TLDs, such as '.com,' '.net' and '.org.' The switch can even be made by individuals on their personal computers, regardless of the ISP they use.

Our automated dot-com collapse predictor at http://www.downside.com/deathwatch.html predicts a death date of November 30, 2000. That's when they run out of cash. Their stock has already dropped from 65 to 4 and is in a screaming dive, having lost half its value in the last two weeks. Their latest SEC filing even says "WE ANTICIPATE CONTINUED LOSSES AND WE MAY NEVER BE PROFITABLE." I don't think anyone else will try to IPO a spammer for a while.
