ICANN Votes ANY Word Can Be A TLD
Monday, 14 July 2008 03:53

ICANN (think of them as the domain name government) recently voted that any word can be used as a tld (the extension on a domain name, eg. .com or .net) if you can foot the bill for it. No confirmed prices on this yet, but I have seen rumors that $50,000 would be a starting point. Be on the lookout for mass internet confusion as we introduce yet more .<your word here>'s for the general public to remember.

While they have been able to this this for a long time, this may expand the type of information able to be gathered without a court order to include things like web browsing histories."
