actually, it's not new domain names, it's new top-level domains
(TLDs) they're talking about (too bad they said it incorrectly)... right
now we have .com, .net, .org, .edu, .gov, and .mil (unless i forgot
one)... country codes are ccTLDs, which is a bit different...
anyway, you can read up on the new TLDs at:

(read all the comments, they're as good as the article)
