gTLDs. The World Health Organisation (WHO), for example, has proposed 

.health

.

49

 While the WHO's 

proposal is not primarily about providing competition it could, in fact, have that impact for any TLDs 

aimed specifically at the healthcare industry.

50

 The domain 

med.pro 

may also provide competition in this 

area. 

While many business users are opposed to the creation of new gTLDs where the cost of defensive 

registrations would outweigh the potential benefits, there is also support amongst business for some new 

names where new business opportunities are envisioned. Support can be found among businesses as users 

and among businesses proposing names. The proposed 

.asia

 domain has the support, for example, of the 

Hong Kong Telecommunication Users Group.

51

  Entities proposing the 

.mobi

 domain include the GSM 

Association, `3', HP, Microsoft, Nokia, Orange, Samsung, Sun, Telecom Italia, T Mobile, and Vodafone.
