Pornographers may soon be masters of their own domain.
The Internet moved closer to getting its own red-light district yesterday, as international Web regulators endorsed the use of .xxx for the domain names of porn Web sites, according to reports.
“The domain name has not yet been approved, but it moves forward under a fast-track process,” said Martijn Pakker, of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers in Brussels. “We now go on to developing the .xxx domain name.”
