ICANN to Consider Single-Letter Web Addresses
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has agreed to consider single-letter addresses such as a.com in response to company requests. (Six companies with single-letter names were allowed to keep their names when the existing system was established.) In deciding whether to accept single-letter names, ICANN will also have to determine how to sell the names and whether companies will have to seek individual entries across all suffixes. Domain name brokers and others expect intense demand for the names because of their rarity. There are no plans to consider two-letter names because of possible confusion with two-letter country code suffixes.
