Legal Update: Domain Name Gold Rush on the Horizon
Posted by David Goldstein , Tuesday, 22 July 2008
by Michael Park, Senior Associate, Deacons Lawyers, Australia ICANN recently approved draft proposals that would see the biggest ever expansion of domain name choice.

Currently, there are a limited number of gTLDs, including .com, .net and .gov (and .com.au, .net.au and .gov.au in Australia), which are strictly controlled by ICANN and each country’s internet regulatory authority (for example, .au Domain Administration for .au domain names).

Part 14 – The Journey to Mega-Park
Posted by Michael Gilmour , Tuesday, 22 July 2008
This article continues directly on from Part 12 and Part 13 in the series on the domain industry.
This brings up the most important point that we need to never forget, traffic really is king. It’s the one unique resource that everyone needs and they’re prepared to pay for it.
