I suspect the folks who spend $185K + yearly fees will be able to afford
engineering staff that will point out that a naked TLD is unlikely to
work for the great unwashed masses. And if they don't, they'll get exactly
what they deserve.
What I suspect you'll more likely see will be macbook.apple or
japan.cisco or copyright-enforcement.universal.
Maybe.
