[[ICM Registry]], the entity behind the [[.xxx]] domain space, touted the fact that they got Frank Schilling involved in his first TLD launch ever. He was admitted into their Founders Program, which allowed some 35 companies bid access to over 1,500 names. Mr. Schilling acquired a number of domains, in a package worth a reported 7 figures. Those domains include live.xxx, hot.xxx, and free.xxx.

Frank Schilling was named because Manwin was pointing to the fact that the domain space was clearly not reserved strictly for members of the adult industry.
