Donuts Inc.'s major play for new Web domain names raises fears of fraud

http://j.mp/TtcfVp  (Washington Post)

   "They warn that Donuts has close ties to a company with a
    well-documented history of providing services to spammers and other
    perpetrators of Internet abuses. Should Donuts come to control
    hundreds of new domains, including ".doctor," ".financial" and
    ".school," consumers could see a spike in online misbehavior, these
    critics warn."

I won't repeat myself here.
