Companies large and small are vying for control of a number of new Internet domain names, but Amazon.com's (AMZN) plans are drawing the most scrutiny, reports the Wall Street Journal. Two publishing industry groups, the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers, are objecting to the online retailer's request for ownership of new top-level domain names that are part of a long-awaited expansion of the Web's addressing scheme. They argue that giving Amazon control over such addresses—which include ".book," ".author" and ".read"—would be a threat to competition and shouldn't be allowed.Reference Link |
