Network operators, anti-spam campaigners, security experts and engineers have all hit out at VeriSign over changes it made to the top level domain system on Monday.
Australia is lagging behind the rest of the world in the rush to register with the new global top level domain (gTLD) .info.
The Internet's governing body was supposed to open up the landscape to small Web address registrars. So why were so many big players awarded new top-level domains?
Australia's second level domain name system for government may have an air of legitimacy, but bureaucratic bungling is confusing Web administration between levels of government, according to one German researcher.
The International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved several new top-level domains, the suffixes attached to a Web address. There were nine contenders and seven winners.
The domain name system--the global directory that maps names to Internet protocol addresses--was designed to distribute authority, making organisations literally "masters of their own domain".
ICANN Chairman Vint Cerf fires back at critics who say his organisation impedes innovation on the Internet.
