ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, has approved the new gTLD (Top Level Domains) programme, allowing any company that meets the requirements to apply for its own domain name extension and own the Right Side of the Dot.
Forecasts suggest there will be 1,500 applications for domain names globally, with between 1,100 and 1,200 names being approved. Of those approved, it is expected that fewer than 5 per cent will be owned by businesses or governments in the Middle East.
