Canon Applies for Generic Top-Level Domain

By Simon Fodden

ADVERTISEMENTS

ICANN, the international body that manages the business of approving domain names and numbers, decided about two years ago to permit generic top-level domain names (gTLD), creating an application process that is expected to get underway this year.

The camera and technology company Canon Inc. announced yesterday that it has done what it can now to apply for the gTLD “.canon”, not suprprisingly, and staked out its territory:

Following approval for the new gTLD system, which is expected to take place after the latter half of 2011, Canon will make full use of the new domain name to increase the convenience and effectiveness of its online communications.

Slaw would, of course, apply for its own gTLD were it not for the small matter of the application fee, which is estimated to be US$185,000.
