"Because they aren't official top-level domains, the top-level domains set up 
by New.net require Internet users to install a small software application that 
will allow a user's computer to find the domains on the Internet. New.net also 
has agreements with several large national Internet service providers that 
automatically are set up to recognize the company's top-level domains. "

E.g., a hack.  bogus.  If I cant hit a domain from the root nameservers,
in my view, it doesent exist.
