HUNDREDS of Internet address suffixes to rival ".com" should be available for people and businesses to use by the end of the year, the head of an Internet oversight agency said this week.
Initial ones, expected in mid-2013, will likely be in Chinese and other languages besides English, said Fadi Chehade, CEO of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.
That will be followed within weeks by English suffixes that do not have competing bidders - among them brand names, regional monikers and generic suffixes such as ".like" and ".vacation."
