I dread the effect of this when it comes to the load on the root
servers.

Come 2012, confused camera customers might be able to point their
browsers to a Web address that looks very different from what's
available today: support.canon.
That's because the organization in charge of such names, the Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, is planning on a dramatic
rewriting of the rules for Web addresses that could demote .com's
importance.
Today there are just a few of what are called generic top-level
domains--.com, .net, .org, .biz, and .edu, for example. But ICANN
wants
to open the door to, potentially, hundreds or thousands more of
these GTLDs.
That's a big change, especially for those who have a brand to
protect on
the Internet and were taken by surprise by the virtual land grab that
took place with .com addresses in the 1990s. Here's a look at what
GTLDs
mean now and in the future.
