VOICED: Nuevos dominios en Internet

The video discusses the upcoming changes in internet domain names, with new extensions like .pisa, .sex, and .latino set to compete with the traditional .com. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has received nearly 2,000 applications for new domain names from major companies like Apple and Google. This expansion is driven by the growing number of internet users, necessitating more than the current 22 suffixes.
