Background

The organisation that administers the allocation of Top Level Domain (TLD) names such as .com is releasing seven new internet top level domains which are expected to be operational in the second or third quarter of 2001.

The introduction of the new TLDs presents opportunities for businesses to acquire attractive and memorable internet addresses, but also opens the door to a new generation of opportunistic "cyber squatters".
