What will be the impact of these new web
addresses?
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.
