新一级域名将接受申请 A top-level domain is the part of an Internet address after the dot. The most common of what are called generic top-level domains are dot-com, dot-net and dot-org. There are twenty-two generic top-level domain names currently available. But get ready for many, many more. The international organization that controls these names will begin accepting applications for new ones in January. This will open the door to dot-just-about-anything. Brad White is with ICANN, the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

The cost of a new name: one hundred eighty-five thousand dollars. BRAD WHITE: Thats the cost that weve determined that is necessary to make sure that the applicant has the technical savvy to
