The internet corporation for assigned names has approved a plan to allow users to register generic domain names.  Currently there are 21 top level domain names available to register such as .com .co.uk .info .biz which are familiar to most of us.  The internet corporations decision will mean people can register anything they want, companys such as dell can register .dell domain names.

Non latin characters such as chineese and japanese will also be available to register. The internet corporation has not decided on a price structure yet but expect to pay more to register these domains
