The Internet may soon see two new top-level domains: .jobs and .mobi.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) said Monday that its
board had voted unanimously to begin discussions with the companies that have submitted bids – and a $45,000 application fee each – to operate those domain name suffixes.


ICANN gave preliminary approval to the .post and .travel top-level
domains in October. Other proposed suffixes include .cat, .xxx, and .mail. ICANN has not extended final
approval to any new top-level domains since adding .biz, .info, and .aero and four others in 2000.
