ICANN, the organization that oversees domain names, voted to reject the implementation of a .xxx top level domain for the third time. Neither the adult content industry nor religious groups liked the proposal, though for different reasons (pornography co’s think it will lead to more and easier government regulations and religious groups think it will validate and increase the number of adult content sites).

The only one that seems disappointed is the company that was seeking to oversee the registrations (obviously a lot of money at stake if the new TLD was to be approved)…
