ICANN Creating a Monopoly in Domain Names

When the Internet was still very young, all you have to do to get a domain name is to call a man named Jon Postel, and ask for it. It has changed greatly with the popularity of the Internet. Now the competition for a name, either short, generic domain is fierce. If you want a domain name in the namespace. Com popular, you should be satisfied with a long name, sometimes confusing, domain.

ICANN has used the “round” to introduce new TLDs. When they make these new TLDs, they are generic in nature, such as info or .. Biz. This creates a conflict of trademarks. Many companies keep the same word as a trademark, such as Apple Records and Apple Computers. Both are legal trademarks. Both have a legal right to use the word apple to sell products and services respectively.

So which one has the legal right to apple.com or apple.biz? What if I started a company called Apple tomorrow Printing Services and get a trademark on the word apple to sell printing services? Do I not then have the same rights to use apple.com or apple.net as my domain name?

If ICANN TLD will open the market, so that every company with technical expertise and financial capabilities, can start a new TLD, we will have more options like apple.computer, apple.music, apple.printer. TLD like. LYR, Atty .. CPA, will appear. This will help eliminate conflicts trademark.

First come, first serve, the demand for the domain name is the method used and seem fair when the namespace is less dense. Now, if we will ensure that future generations of people, who are not even on the Internet yet, or who have not even started their business yet, will have the opportunity to get a domain name they want, we must create more TLDs. ICANN claims no request for new TLDs.

I disagree. Demand is far from being met. It is not fair business practice to have multiple TLD in which some companies / people get the short single word domain names while the rest must be satisfied in most cases two and three word domain names. By limiting the space with several TLD, ICANN makes decisions that a business that existed at a particular point in time will have an advantage over any business that is made at a later time.

As the city grows, more paved roads and more able to get a building built to allow more businesses to get a good location, a lot more angle if you will. As the name space ICANN wants to expand the business to continue to build upward and not outward. They left the new business is equivalent to the one in the third and fourth-Vs have a shop on the ground floor.

The city grew out to allow more development. TLD space needed to grow out to meet the same request. The cities that do not restrain development and business-friendly economy in the ruins they found before too long. Cities that do their best to offer more development opportunities for businesses of many angles, breaks in certain costs, etc., prosperous.

It would be unusual for the city to tell a new business, “can not build a lot of it, you have to build buildings that are above your competitors, so they have a ground floor and your customers have to walk past your competition to get where you are” That analogy .. If you have design.com already, I should get something like webdesign.com (2nd floor location), the next business should get something like websitedesign.com, (3rd floor), small businesses can further share the 4th floor with greatwebsitedesign com,. websitedesignplanet.com, etc. Others will get the 5th floor with a name even longer as new businesses coming to the web.

You might say well they just need the name of their business to their website and should be easy to obtain. I would say that many companies have the same name and in addition, a keyword in the generic domain name is the advantage to only have your business name as a domain name. People are not searching the web for you, but they do a search for what service or product you sell.

ICANN is currently forcing an unfair disadvantage to owners of new businesses and for people new to the web by not allowing them to get a good, short domain names for personal or business use. Not allow new TLDs to be created is unfair business practices and restrictions on free trade. It is also anti-free enterprise because they said I could not get into the business of simply selling domain names and some of the businesses they have chosen to do so. They also may violate the law was written to avoid monopoly.
