At various ICANN fora, adult entertainment industry folk opposed to .xxx argued that they would be forced to register a .xxx domain name equivalent to avoid the risk of losing internet users intending to visit their websites but the consumer 'confusion' that *all* adult content is located under .xxx instead landed at different websites. Let's face it, the average internet user is nowhere close to the domain names knowledgeable ICANN elite.

Simply put, "Consumer Trust, Competition and Choice" will be severely dented.
