New thoughts on creating new TDL's

Dimester · 07-04-2008, 09:37 PM

The internet is in it's infancy. It will be used for many different things that haven't even been thought of yet. It needs new TDL's to expand. Yes, for websites we have enough TDL's, but the internet will be used for much more than websites.

Think about these made up examples:

1.) New TDL - .alarm

Used by an alarm company - streetaddress.zipcode.alarm

This would tell the alrm company where the alarm is from. Allow them to control cameras, sensors, check for locked/unlocked doors and windows etc.

2.) New TDL - .traffic

Used by a highway department - milemarker.street.traffic

Cameras and sensors can be read and controlled remotely to open up more lanes or divert traffic to a detour route.

3.) New TDL - .track - nodenumber.channel.track

Used on a closed transportation channel that will keep track of and regulate the advancement and speed of driverless cars.

4.) New TDL - .video - account.media

Used by a media company to let you access and download media from anywhere with an internet connection. You would not need a regular pc to access this.

5.) New TDL - .mfg - machine.mfg

Allows a company to remotely control manufacturing. This could be halfway around the world.

6.) New TDL - .dr - patient.dr

Allows a doctor to monitor and control remotely. Think about experts watching in on a surgery and providing advice.

--------

There are many many new uses for new TDL's that haven't even been thought of yet. These crude examples I thought up as I wrote.

I don't view the new TDL's as a threat to domaining. For websites, com will stay king because of people. It would take two decades to get people to unlearn .com and adjust to something else for ecommerce etc.

What are your thoughts?

Interesting examples. Who knows what ICANN will do, though likely not much

... your .DR TLD suggestion brings to mind basic restrictions that will likely remain ...

1 character TLDs won't be happening, and that 2 character TLDs will continue to remain reserved for country/nation delegation only.

Indeed all two letter domain name extensions are already reserved for all present and any future country codes for any small countries that have not got one yet

It's TLD btw...Top Level Domain.

I can only think of a few usable new extentions:

.sports
.music
.god (because .religion would be too long, and .church or .mosque would be too specific to 1 specific belief)
.mail
.xxx

I think those would all be pretty usable. For example a band could simply register for example beatles.music - simply, to the point, easy to remember

I'd invest every penny i have in only 1 (changed my opinion from my last thoughts on this topic)

Will be watching the .llc very carefully

.llc

I think who ever gets this "extension" will become a millionare within 3 months of opening

It's all gonna be a big shambles.

I have read with great interest on this topic and believe that overall, it will enhance the viability and marketabilty of internet applications and advertising. I can understand the nervousness and opposition to the introduction of domain extensions, representing anything.

From a speculative investors point of view I don't think the value of mainstream domains will be affected.

I would however be nervous if I was holding major GEO, Telecommunications or porn related domains.
Not sure if the current values of SEX.com and NewYork.com can be justified when competing domains such as Free.sex and Travel.newyork or Hotels.newyork will somehow find a niche amongst internet users.

The irony is however that since ICANN and Google literally control every element of today's internet platforms, we as small pawns in an aggressively controlled business world, can only sit back watch.

The power of the people does not EXIST here.

Wouldn't it be better to own the extention .company over .llc considering that the term "company" is a worldwide term & LLC, I believe is only a US thing?

I dont think so,

more companies are "Company name llc" not "Company Company"

Plus Company is to long.

LLC makes more sense.

Only for people in the US

Haha, those were just examples. I guess I forgot to put the disclaimer that in some cases I might not exactly just mean what I write, that some of my comments can be sarcastic. I wouldn't be in this forum if I didn't like it

Dean · 07-06-2008, 10:24 PM

I think that new tlds could definitely be used for other things apart from websites, a bit like the proposed .tel.

weblord · 07-06-2008, 10:27 PM

this is too confusing and complicated for me, if this is done, then we have to sell also typos of extensions.
