2012 is set to be a vitally important year for the domain name<\/a> industry.<\/p>\n

Over the next few months, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN<\/a>) will introduce its new generic top level domain name (gTLD) regime.<\/p>\n

This will give businesses and organizations the opportunity to customize their own domain name suffix, and command a more distinct area of the world wide web.<\/p>\n

Opinion on the wisdom of the move is split, with many businesses welcoming the opportunity to promote their brands via their website URL, but advertising and retail groups are adopting a more critical stance.<\/p>\n

Some commentators – such as the National Association of Advertisers – believe the introduction of gTLDs is short-sighted, and will incur significant costs while delivering few practical benefits.<\/p>\n

But aligned with the increase in the number of internationalized domain names, the launch of gTLDs could change the very fabric of the internet.<\/p>\n

With a wider pool of domain names to choose from, could the days of multi-million dollar premium domain name transactions be at an end?<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen how ICANN implements its gTLD plan, and how the use of non-Latin script affects the strategic decisions of online organizations.<\/p>\n

But either way, 2012 promises to be another intriguing year for the domain name industry and each individual stakeholder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
