Competition for Internet Domain Name Registration Near: Application to become a registrar opens

摘要

Applications to become a registrar of Internet domain names are now being accepted. The action, announced by the interim Policy Oversight Committee (iPOC), is expected to result in the establishment of competitive registrars worldwide. There is currently one registrar, Network Solutions, Inc., for the three existing gTLDs: .com, .net, and .org. It is expected that those gTLDs will become assimilated into the new plan in April 1998.
