New gTLD Application Filed for .lan Domain

Original: New gTLD Application for .lan

A new application for the .lan top-level internet domain has been submitted to ICANN's new generic Top-Level Domain program. If approved, .lan would join the growing list of generic domains available for registration. The application is public on ICANN's application portal, and the tech community is debating whether such a well-known internal network name should become a public domain.

Why now: The proposal to turn .lan, long used informally for local networks, into a public top-level domain raises technical and naming concerns.
