.XXX: How Much Does It Cost?
At the XBIZ show in London, I debated Stuart Lawley, CEO of ICM Registry, the entity that pushed through the .XXX sTLD. I know that many of those in the audience wanted answers and, unfortunately with the typical smoke and mirrors presentation from ICM I am afraid the confusion increased.
