Facts & Background
The Internet you know will start to change beyond recognition in the next 12-24 months. Today, this Internet primarily operates around 2 dozen or so existing gTLDs, the most well known are .com .org .net .biz .info etc.
This momentous change will come in the form of NEW gTLDs and IDN gTLDs. They will be created and authorized imminently. More than 500 are anticipated to be created and deployed to sit alongside .com and the others. They will not only be in English but also in other languages and scripts like Chinese, Arabic and many others (IDNs, Internationalized Domain Names)
Examples of new proposed gTLDs are .Sport, .Music .Berlin .Eco .Arab .Bank and many others that will be applied for by corporations, associations, communities and entrepreneurs
As a result of these NEW gTLDs, huge new opportunities will emerge. They will stem from the exponential growth from the current 1.4 billion Internet users to an estimated 4 billion + in perhaps less than half the time it took the first billion to get connected. Many of these new users will start to use the Internet in their native language, and for the first time ever
Attending our seminars will help you identify the tremendous risk and opportunities these NEW gTLDs will impact and represent to Brand owners, Trademark holders, as well as all communities especially those whose languages are not Latin based.
WebSynergys' COMPREHENSIVE knowledge and experience in this field manifested over the years (Read About us) can help those who stand to get impacted to maximize the Global Opportunities of these New gTLDs in ASCII (English) and / or IDNs in all stages, and assure themselves success during the pre-application, review, and post-approval phases of your application as well as managing it as an operational and technical Registry
