The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers voted overwhelmingly for the proposal to allow the introduction of new website domain suffixes by private companies, enabling major firms to replace ".com" with their own brand. The voting took place at a meeting in Singapore.

"This is the biggest change to domain names since the creation of '.com' 26 years ago," said Theo Hnarakis, chief executive of Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services, a California-based company that provides online branding services.

Companies don’t know about new domains to be introduced by ICANN next year

June 9, 2009 - 8:24am | Figures | News

According to a recent research 2/3 of businesses do not know that they can use their own name in place of domain extensions such as .com, .org, or .net when Internet domains are liberalized next year, reports Reuters. With the new rules companies like Microsoft and others will be able to control their own domain and better exploit their brands, and also counter cyber-squatters who use variations of brands on the 280 or so existing domain extensions.
