The World Wide Web Just got Wider

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) have voted to increase the number of available website domain suffixes, which will be the most major change to the internet in years.  

In principle internet address names will end with almost any word and be in any language.  However, it will cost you.  It will cost $185,000 (£114,000) to apply for the suffixes, and companies would need to show they have a legitimate claim to the name they are buying.

Applications will begin in January 2012 with corporations and cities expected to be amongst the first.  Despite the confidence Icann have in their decision; they admit that "No one can predict where this historic decision will take us."
