News Research

Whilst reading the news to look for a story relevant for my media work I found this article

It describes how the US plan to loosen its control over how the internet is ran.
This article brings up issues relating to domain names and how domain name holders domain is secure, how their details are held and whether or not domains are to be in arabic and other scripts as well as brands being able to become domains.
This links to globalisation and how branding is introduced, restrictions on domains currently means that .com or .uk is necessary but will branding now mean you dont need the full domain name?
And how secure is the internet if restrictions are to be loosened on web addresses and how they are filed as the US leaves it to the company?
This could also allow individuals to 'advertise' themselves without using a domain name by just using their name.
But how many people in the world and of course on the world wide web may have the same name or brand name and want that page but obviously domain names are in high demand so only certain ones are available surely it would just be the same for those?
Who knows.
