It begins in 2009.
Till then, we only had to worry about .com,.net,.info,.us,.biz etc. domain extensions.
And most small time marketers still won’t have to worry much… unless they have $185,000 to invest in a unique top level custom domain name to host content like webpage.customextension
In other words, as this article speculates there could be extensions like .coca-cola or whatever they want.
That price tag puts the hurt on domain squatters snatching up $10 domain names.
But it also puts the hurt on trademark owners who can’t plop down $185,000 for every permutation of their brand!
How will it all play out?
Who knows.
But now you know what to look for…

This is very true, We do know what to look for now, but the internet has become a second life to alot of people out there who depend on it for money, love, work, connection and communication. Thanks for your input on this topic!
