I can't wait to go to "www.apple.apple" or "www.mail.google.google," seriously what was wrong with the current TLDs?

A global body that charts the course of the Internet voted Monday to allow the creation of new website domain suffixes by private companies, enabling major firms to replace ".com" with their own brand.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) voted overwhelmingly in favour of the proposal at a meeting in Singapore despite fears that opening up new suffixes could cause some confusion.

I heard that certain companies get an early chance to buy there domains for $130,000 and then anually have to pay $17,000. I for one think it is a stupid idea, what was wrong with .com or .org or .net?

Have to fill out a sixty page application designed to keep out squatters.
