Brussels, Belgium… 25 June 2010… Millions of Chinese language users will soon be able to access the
Internet using Chinese script following a decision today by ICANN’s Board of Directors to approve a set of
Chinese language internationalized domain names.

“This approval is a significant change for Chinese language users worldwide,” said Rod Beckstrom, President
and Chief Executive Officer of ICANN. “One fifth of the world speaks Chinese and that means we just
increased the potential online accessibility for roughly a billion people.”

The new IDN country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) and the associated organizations approved by the
Board are:

• CNNIC (China Internet Network Information Center)
• HKIRC (Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited)
• TWNIC (Taiwan Network Information Center).

You're referring to the TLD itself, right?

All Greek and molluscs to me. But no value in foreign languages is there! (-:

One thing to be an open-minded investor and another to be an obsessed fanboi of non-ASCII. PS. Greek is the reason you're typing in English right now.

You are quite correct. Personally I only have around 1500 ascii and some 500 IDN , diversification is the name of my game and if you ain't in it you have no chance of winning, I have that chance, from what you say you don't?
