However, there have been quite a few previous initiatives which aimed for a liberalization of domain naming since the late 90’s. OpenNIC was one initiative, and it is cited on a WikiFur article because of the .fur domain name which never took off as a major alternative domain name due to the lack of recognition of OpenNIC domain names by major ISPs.
Does this mean that the alternative domain names pushed by OpenNIC and New.net can gain recognition if enough financial promotion comes their way?
