Visiting Professor Jonathan Zittrain is quoted by The Guardian about the expansion of domain names planned by Icann:

Jonathan Zittrain, professor of internet governance and regulation at Oxford, has said: "Arguments about Icann and domain names don't much matter except to those who want a piece of the financial pie, and I think predictions of domain names' unimportance have largely proven true . . . I find it hard to really care if Icann wants to allow some names and deny others. I don't see how a willingness to have some content-based process for determining new TLDs can become (censorship)"
