This is a key moment in the history of the Internet. Things will get interesting next year, I can't wait to see what happens. I also think IDNs (internationalized domain names ) will play a rapidly increasing role in the future.

Play the TLD Game Without Spending $185,000 (plus potentially unlimited annual expenses)

Anyone can create their own set of Top Level Domains at no cost and without reference to ICANN, simply by registering new Dashcom (instead of Dotcom) Domains.

Dashcoms are memorable addresses in any language such as "sports-com", "live-music", "social-network”

Totally outside ICANN's control resolution is via an APP; although new ISP links are coming online to make that unnecessary.
