As we were recently discussing, the apparently forthcoming .xxx domain due to be used for the porn business has been delayed again.

ICANN had been expected, at its quarterly meeting in Vancouver to approve or kill the domain. Now, it’s a waiting game once more.

"Within the first quarter of next year is my expectation when it will come back up," he said.
