<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/" target="_blank">New
top level domain (TLD) applications</a> raise high financial stakes for the
applicants. Those seeking new TLDs will have invested at least half a million
dollars to prepare and submit their proposal, and many of the companies
involved have raised millions more in backing from investors or venture capital
firms. In aggregate, applicants plunked down about $250 million in application
fees alone. </p>
