DUTCH COMPANY DUMPS COMMON TOP-LEVEL DOMAIN NAMES

Amsterdam-based UnifiedRoot S&M BV has created an Internet addressing
system that eliminates top-level domains such as .com and .edu,
allowing organizations and individuals to register Internet addresses
ending with the name of their businesses or other words. The new system
can combine top-level domains with second-level domains for what the
company calls more intuitive addresses for different categories of
products and services, such as vegetables.supermarket. UnifiedRoot has
established 13 master root servers worldwide to run its domain name
system. To avoid conflicts, the company said, it will not register
top-level domain names already registered by the Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Existing Internet service
providers will have to update their server directories to accommodate
the new system names.
