ICANN approves rules for new TLDs
The new decision will allow companies to register their brands as generic top-level domain names (TLDs). For instance, Microsoft could apply to have a TLD such as '.msn', Apple could apply for '.mac', and Google for '.goog'Some commentators see such moves as a new gateway for a massive stream of TLD squatters. However, the pessimistic expectations may be exaggerated becasue of the planned costs of the registration of new TLDs - some experts estimate it around $50.000.
