Breaking news:
“An Internet oversight board gave the Web a new batch of domain names Thursday, choosing .biz, .name and five other suffixes to help ease the dot-com name crunch.
The decisions by the Internet Corp. for Assigned Names and Numbers capped a half-decade of discussion about how to relieve the crowded field of addresses ending in .com, which has some 20 million registrations worldwide.
The new names are the first major additions since the system of domains, or Internet address suffixes, was developed in the 1980s. The new suffixes could appear in use by the middle of next year.
Accommodating Growth ICANN approved .info for general use, .biz for businesses, .name for individuals, .pro for professionals, .museum for museums, .coop for business cooperatives and .aero for the aviation industry.”
