PARIS ? ICANN is expected to approve a new measure that will open up the Internet to a virtually unlimited supply of top-level domains for a price.
Online reports confirm that starting in 2009, individuals, businesses and organizations ? just about anyone ? will be able to submit an application to ICANN for their own top-level domain, better known as the suffix at the end of a web address, like ".com" or ".org."
