Reuters: New Internet Domains May Lead to Chaos in Cyberspace
Monday’s decision by the body governing internet domain names to stop restricting them to a list of suffixes like .com and .org may spell a “chaotic new era” as companies start branding the internet, reports Reuters.
By the end of 2012, any suffix can be used as a domain name once it gets approved; so there could be a coke.zero or italian.food then, Reuters said. All this may spark a scramble by brands and cybersquatters alike to see who gets the name first.
