ICANN Relaxes Rules for Top-Level Domain Names

PARIS - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers unanimously agreed Thursday to relax restrictions on domain names, as well as agreed to seek public comment on doing away with language barriers in domain names.
At the annual general meeting in Paris, ICANN members agreed to allow for new domain names, which would greatly expand beyond the current short list of approved names that includes .com, .org, .edu and country names - such as .nz or .ca. Under the new rules, by the first quarter of 2009, companies could register for "dot-company" addresses like .eBay. ICANN officials said trademarked name, such as .eBay or .Pepsi, could be purchased outright by those companies, but more generic names like .car or .bank would be auctioned off.

I don't think this will happen, but even if it does, big changes like this on the internet are inevitable. It's all about predicting them and finding the best ways to make money out of the situation at hand.
