Dot-com era brought to an end

The .com era was brought to an end yesterday as internet regulators allowed thousands of new domain names.
In one of the biggest change to the web in its 25-year history, businesses were given the all-clear to apply for suffixes far more wide-ranging than the .org, .com or .info currently in use.

[quote] The new names could cover locations such as .london, industries such as '.bank' or entertainment such as .gamble.
It could also pave the way for an online red light district where all adult sites carry the suffix .xxx.
But critics warned it would make the net a more complex and expensive place for small businesses and home users, while offering easy pickings for fraudsters and cybersquatters.
Yesterday's move to open up the Internet was agreed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
It will replace the current system by which all addresses fall under 260 geographical or generic names.
The new names will start to appear from next year.
'This is a historic resolution,' said ICANN's Peter Dengate.
'It's going to make a big difference to how the Internet looks and works.'
But there are a lot of details to be worked out, not least the cost of buying a domain.
Fees for top level names could be as high as

I don't know if I should be happy or annoyed. Yays, more domains can become available if I can't get one I want, but boo because I could become an easy target for fraudsters.

Hmm.. interesting. Tis a shame that they'll get be able to have their own suffix. I mean it's easier if everyone had a .com address seeing as it's a lot more rememberable.

Plus, it will be so expensive, i mean up to 50k? wow.

Now when I come to think of it, it is bad. More sites with odd suffixes, $50,000 domains, 'tis going to be annoying now

Yeah, I know. Just imagine...www.ragezone.ragezonerulesalltheway => too complicated to remember.

.jobs, .name, wth man

damn thats seriously retarded.

I can see ahella lot of new domains wanted to being registererd at work -,-

Just makin things complicated if you ask me.

"Yes, we will make the internet much bigger and make domains much easier to obtain by making more complex URLs be created so people don't know what site they need to visit! Is it a .com site or a .xxxsexipr0nz site?"
