The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is getting ready to vote later this week to open up the Internet naming convention to allow more options.

If the provisions are approved the move could also pave the way for companies to buy up the right to use their own name as a suffix by the middle on 2009. Microsoft.com, for instance, could change its address to Microsoft.microsoft while individuals would be able to subscribe to any number of terms to use in their own internet addresses.

Save up your $$ fellas....here your second chance at domain names. Won't be cheap as predictions for specialized names are around $50k.

So when you buy it for $50K, who exactly gets that money? Who is selling these? I want to be him.

Kinda glad I bought the rights to the yahoo.com domain a few years back.

They have no choice. There are 4.2 billion available addresses and they are expected to run out by 2010 or 2011.
