On June 13, 2012, ICANN announced 1,930 applications for new generic Top-Level Domains (gTLDs) were filed by 1,155 applicants. This expansion will spur an explosion of Internet growth, but the influence of big money could concentrate gTLDs in the hands of a few key players. The following video, produced by .Nxt, breaks down the amount of applications, key players and money involved.
