New top-level domains coming



The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has
announced more progress toward the issuance of Generic Top-Level Domain
name (gTLD) domains. These new top-level domains will give applicants
the chance to have a corporate trademark or community name as the _last_
item in an Internet address: for example, instead of sears.com or
fsf.org, the new gTLD program would allow addresses such as sales.sears
or emacs.fsf.

Details are at
http://www.icann.com/en/announcements/announcement-04oct09-en.htm .

My question: what will I have to update to accomodate this change?

Bill
