new .asia ext future .. share your thoughts

[Muhammad Mustafa]

yesterday I got last information about .asia, 4th stage will start in the second part of 2007 which means its opened for every body to register his name.
today I checked for some TM names like google, yahoo, microsoft .. etc and they all registered which means SR3 is already finished.
with over 60% of earth people in asia and about 30 language how do you think .asia will be??
will we see another top ext. like what happened with .mobi??
will we see IDNs available with .asia??
IDNs with .asia will have a pretty future??
share your opinions guys

I think we will see a large market with .asia and will be the next big valuable one after .com and .mobi (may be bigger than .mobi too)
with IDNs I think only ch, jp and ar will be the most valuable markets

I am wondering why they decided not to use .as. Is it because of its pronounciation?
