'...While Amazon aims to clean up in what's becoming the biggest
Internet landgrab ever, the public -- individuals or business owners --
is fated to play the role of bystander in this cyberdrama. Amazon's
names won't be open to the public in the way that, say, .com names are,
where anyone can register AnythingTheyWant.com. Want to own
Chocolate.shop? Forget it. As Amazon says clearly: "All domains in the
.SHOP registry will remain the property of Amazon."...'
