Beyond .com -The Next Internet Revolution

Editor's Notes

  • #2 New front page to be created.
  • #28 .com - a population of 90 million. Much like an Over-Crowded Coastline….Nowhere to turn other than building upon each other, reducing space, choice and the opportunity to do things differently. Limiting accessibility and usability of the internet… Change is the only opportunity to cut through.
  • #29 Beyond .com The internet is changing to allow visionaries to build new real-estate…Create new opportunity and move away from the norm. New domain spaces can be created….New Opportunities are born. Just like those visionaries who “build a new waterfront” when they ran out of space in Dubai. Those willing to innovate will now be able to think beyond .com.
  • #32 Mitch will provide a new graphic... A new world of internet innovation an opportunity for brands, geographic locations and generic words to become a part of internet real-estate, forever. The internet as we know it will be navigated in a very, very different way to what it is today. Succint and memorable Top Level Domain Names for the next generation of web user.
  • #33 Brands and Corporates Consistent Domain Name Structure Regional Focus – Dealers and Key Geographic Reat Product focus –x5 Loyalty – my.bmw Etc
  • #34 Creating a unique online identity for specific regions – forever Providing memorable and succint domain names relevant to a geogoraphic region.
  • #35 Mitch to lay these out… What’s the next .com? The internet will be sliced into various industries, trends and lifestyle choices. .com generates 600 million US annually…Even one per cent of that market is a business opportunity well worth pursuing.
