What will be the impact of these
new domains?
With some 20 million dotcom names registered worldwide, easy-to-remember
addresses have been almost completely used up, resulting in many
calling for new TLDs to be put in place. But the implementation
of these new TLDs has received mixed reviews. Industries seeking
expansion applaud the new TLDs, while those that believe ICANN
unfairly favors large corporate interests over individual Internet
users are criticizing these latest developments. This clash of
beliefs has resulted in several protests against ICANN and their
new regulations.
