I'm not keen on legally mandating the use of a particular domain extension, unless that extension is managed by a non-profit. Some of the newly-added TLDs have exorbitant annual fees, and if businesses were legally required to use them they could charge whatever they pleased.

Plus, you'd have a collision problem. What if one company has foobar.com and another has foobar.net, and they both collect data? (Imagine they're in completely different industries and the term itself is fairly generic, so there's no possibility of a trademark dispute.) They can't both get the ".delete" version of their second-level label.

(I realize I'm probably overthinking this.)
