Australians are getting ready for .Melbourne and other gTLDs.
“Forget the dotcom era, its time for new top-level domain names – And new domain millionaires?”
This bold tweet, made by Australian journalist, Lucy Battersby, links to her article in Brisbane Times, an Australian online publication.
The article, titled “Old dotcom era gives way to new top-level domains“, introduces the publication’s readers to the brave new world of gTLDs.
“The dotcom era is ending, but not because of any sudden decline in online participation. Quite the opposite – over the next few months the internet will expand from 22 top-level domains to nearly 1400, including non-latin script domains for the first time.”
An analysis of the gTLD application process follows, including references to the biggest gTLD applicant, Donuts, Inc.
The article appears to be overly enthusiastic in its predictions, and it covers the role of the Australian government and local businesses, both applying for and opposing gTLD applications.
Definitely an interesting read about how gTLDs are perceived “down under.”
