New Internet Land Rush?

ICANN has kept a tight reign on top-level-domain names (they are at the end of a domain name - things like .com, .net, .biz, etc.). Now they are mulling over* the idea of opening these TLD's up completely. This means we could soon see the long awaited .sucks TLD (think of the possibilities!), not to mention .xxx (which I have always favored contra the ridiculous and futile protests of tech-ignorant social conservatives).

So if you missed out on the .com cybersquatting boom, this might be your chance.

* The article is confusing because it confuses domain names and top-level domain names, which are different things. Unintentionally humorous (to geeks like me) quote: Hundreds of new domain names could be created by the end of the year, rising to thousands in the future.
