New.net is a domain name registry, which allows a number of nonstandard TLD's, such as .family, .golf, .law, and many others. In this way it is much like OpenNIC and AlterNIC. However, it owes its quick adoption to the fact that the new.net client is commonly distributed as foistware. In addition, the new.net client allows New.net inc. to install more foistware without permission via the internet.
