I know we've talked about IP addresses and expanding the available IP addresses, but i found this article on CNN interesting. Apparently, they are expanding the internet domain system. The article gave the examples of soon to be ".google, .sex, .music"....It's very interesting. They said it is happening because the ICCAN has been preparing this for nearly a decade, and it was finally approved last June. However the article doubts that it will be coming to websites anytime soon. The company is handling a major glitch right now, and continues to update its deadline date. This will really have an interesting effect on what is to come for the history of the internet. I wonder if it will be harder to remember Internet address or not, and if Internet consumers will really like it, or if this is just another way for companies like Google to advertise their websites with a internet domain ending in ".google". It seems like the have way too much legal work to actually get this done quickly though.
