I received the news from Encirca. So another debate is coming?
.Asia Domain approved by ICANN
Asia is home to more than 60% of the world’s population, and is currently experiencing massive economic growth. In mid-to-late 2007, this region will have its own domain, .ASIA, serving the interests of businesses, organizations, and individuals in the Asia-Pacific region.
While the individual ccTLD domains such as .CN (China) and .JP (Japan) are still important, the .ASIA domain will be a key investment for companies that require regional coverage and a neutral location on the Internet for their Asian business operations.
Backers of .ASIA believe Asian businesses will seek a separate identity, one that reflects expansion beyond their own countries. They may realize their country-specific names are limiting for a regional market. DotAsia, the organization who will serve as the registry for this domain, said it plans to restrict registrations to those with a presence in the region.
EnCirca will provide you with more information on this new domain as it develops.develops.
