The ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has been considering the liberalisation of creation of hundreds of new TLDs (apparently, around 900 additional ones).

Everyone could thus register their own. If you ever wished for a dotROFL domain name for your website, best rush before they are all as crowdedly taken as the dotCOMs are
Well, that is, if you got a spare 100.000 $ for that, needless to precise (you become the registrar for that TLD, roughly, something generally only tech groups can afford to manage to spend, let alone capitalize on).
So far, there is uncertainty about this idea, since ICANN neither confirmed nor gave more details (including to its very own partners)

Possible new TLDs ?
