Internet braces for post .com era

I don't particularly like it to be honest as it will lead to a bit of policing. I prefer the geographical divide with sub trees. That said there could be greater security.. imagine the .bank domain would have certified banks only etc. Could be good.. also bad when a conglomerate refuses entries to others.
 
I can't wait until they are open. I already have a team of about 10 people, we have set aside some cash and we will buy out as many big name domains we can and resell to highest bidders. I was too young when the .com boom came, but I will be ready this time.

You must be loaded...

At USD 185,000 each, that'll add up - quickly.

Excuse my possible ignorance here, but if a root like CO.ZA can be accessed via http://co.za/ does this mean you could effectively access a website through an address like http://toyota/ or http://bmw/ ?

High standards
Companies and organisations seeking one of the new gTLDs will have to meet high technical standards, according to Bruce Tonkin, chief strategy officer at Melbourne IT, a domain registry service.

"You need IT robustness and you need intellectual property protections beyond what is available in the dot com space.

"You have to have 24/7 abuse team. You have to have mechanisms where a trademark holder has first right to get their name," he said.

The higher standards, said Mr Tonkin, meant the application process would be extremely rigorous.

"Using a real estate analogy, it would be roughly the equivalent of getting approval to build a sky scraper.

"There's roughly 50 questions, roughly 2-3 pages per question. Icann will then use experts in each field to evaluate them.

"The concern that some people have is that the standards of these buildings will be so high, that they will never get built. It will be too expensive," he said.

Good luck.
