Be ready for .sports, .love on the Web
Internet regulators this month has paved the way for companies or individuals to create an array of new addresses for the Web.
Internet regulators has voted to relax the rules on domain names like .com or .edu.
Under the new system, individuals, companies or groups could apply to have any string of letters established as a domain name. It could be a category name like .sports or .perfume or a individuals name .ronaldo.
Top-level domain names, or TLDs, refer to Internet name suffixes, such as the ubiquitous .com, .net and .org, among others. Currently, there are more than 200 TLDs, which also include the two-character country codes used by Web sites, such as India's .in or Britain's .uk.
"This is a historic resolution," said Peter Dengate Thrush, chairman of Icann's board. "It's going to make a big difference to how the Internet looks and works."
