Becoming a .pro has its price. The company in charge of registering new domain names for professionals was given the green light Wednesday, but doctors, lawyers and accountants will have to pay a premium for the .pro privilege. [news.com]

We heard arguments that a .adult (or .xxx or .sex) top-level domain was not a possibility.  According to the critics, it would be too hard to police, and it would be too hard for administrators to separate adult content from non-adult content.  It seems to me that the same argument applies to a .pro domain, yet there is going to be a .pro domain.

Just one question, what about .pro for computer professionals?  (Not that I would want to pay $300 per year!)
