Subject: New Dashcom (not Dotcom) Domains Released. New Non-ICANN Domain names are Free

There are around 205 million domain names already registered (it may be 210 Million by the time you read this) and trying to find a unique, relevant and memorable address for less than a few million dollars, has become an almost impossible task.
Even if you manage to unearth something interesting (that's not too expensive), just ask someone near to you how many websites they can actually recall. The chances are maybe 5 or 10 (and that will include the likes of Google, Yahoo, Facebook and Twitter). Things have to change to bring the Web back to a more level playing field.
For the man/woman who simply wants to order a fab pizza on-line, it's not about knowing he/she can access 200 million websites (visiting each site for just a few seconds would take several years...without a pizza break). This is all about memorability..."I wish I could remember the name of that place we saw advertised last week somewhere - looked quite good"; perhaps one reason why on mobiles today, APPs are used more than browsers. This is also about giving Internet users the opportunity to compete on reasonably equal terms with the minority of Corporations/Multi-Nationals that seem to hold all the cards.
Sites such as Dashworlds.com provide brand new Dashcom (not Dotcom) domain names completely free. Dashcoms are addresses in format “business-com”, “paris-fashion” and “social-network” (Examples Only). Totally outside the realm and control of ICANN, anyone can create any domain or any TLD in any language, instantly and at NO cost whatsoever.
With users and members in over 90 countries worldwide, resolution is via an APP; although new ISP Link-Ins are available to make the APP unnecessary (ISP Link-Ins that are also available to ICANN).
Not-so-long-ago, people would have thought the Internet itself to be a complete waste of time effort and money. Surely a retailer, ANY retailer, (eg: a certain bookstore) would be mad to waste time, money and resources trying to sell anything over the Inter-What?. After all why would any consumer in their right mind even consider purchasing a vastly expensive computer, install/rent another phone line, buy a modem (what's a modem?), buy an OS (what's an OS?), learn how to use it all?....Just to buy a book??.....All they had to do was pick up a phone!
Dashcoms are already being utilized globally. Today, Dashcoms not only run in parallel to owners' Dotcom websites, they also run as Dashcom shopfronts in their own right. Dashcoms are also being registered purely for speculation. In simple terms, it's only a matter of who will become prime movers: whether in development or simply getting in there first.
Having just one Internet floating in infinite cyberspace is like saying you can go anywhere in the USA as long as you only use route 66. So now, just as in the USA (and everywhere else in the world) the Internet has more than one option.
The Internet has never been "one-size-fits-all"…………………………………….
