ICANN Reveals Regional Winners of New gTLDs

Posted by timothy on from the the-envelope-please dept.

hypnosec writes "The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers has approved and released a list of domain names as per its new global Top Level Domain plans. A total of 27 domain names have been cleared for use by ICANN, and all of them are non-English domain names. Consisting of Chinese and Arabic names, the list of domain names seems to be mostly for regional companies, prominent among which are the .Qatartelecom and .Mozaic domains."

    Time to throw global DNS system to trash...

    Private DNS servers removing shit like this? If popularised will probably discourage companies to use such TLDs.

    Entirely new DNS system? Decentralised?
