Can they do that? I thought all two letter TLDs were reserved for ccTLDs only. It'll be interesting to see how things play out.

Perhaps not an actual reclassification since, until now, all two letter TLDs have been exclusively for countries. But for the right price, I imagine convincing them to maintain the two character TLD... for "posterity" ... and... "backwards compatibility"...

coughs, clears throat, and pushes 💰 across the table

...would make sense.

I know it's not the same thing, but the corporate TLDs like ".google" make me irrationally irritated. You think you're too good for ".com"?
