Physicians.com sold for $250.000 & hot water rises around ICANN's plan to flood web with new TLD's

icann_simple_logo.jpgThere's a rumour that Physicians.com was sold for $250,000 earlier this week.That was confirmed this morning by the buyer Richard Gabriel.

Gabriel was also on the other side of one of the year's biggest deals last month. He was the seller of Auction.com, a domain purchased by REDC for $1.7 million. That is the third biggest sale reported so far in 2009.

Opposition to ICANN's plan to flood the Internet with an unlimited number of new gTLDs continues to build. Yesterday, the International Olympic Committee put ICANN on notice, stating that the IOC is reserving the right to “take action against ICANN for damages resulting to the IOC or the Olympic Movement from the implementation of the gTLD proposal.” As word of the ill-advised ICANN plan (that was widely publicized by USA Today and the Industry Standard earlier this week) continues to filter out I believe you are going to see a massive wave of resistance develop in the months ahead.
