DNW Podcast #121: Roland LaPlante and NamesCon recap

A recap from NamesCon plus Roland LaPlante of Afilias.

dnw-podcastThis stretch I have a wide-ranging discussion with Roland LaPlante, Chief Marketing Officer of Afilias. We discuss fresh top level domain names and why Afilias’ past experience with launching TLDs made its expectations for the current round more realistic. We also chat regarding increased competition for backend registry services, the challenges of restricted TLDs and Afilias’ fight for .Web. I also recap the prior week’s NamesCon conference and have five short interviews from the event.
