Internet overhaul wins approval is the headline.....
At least there is a quote about TLD's being in the low xxx,xxx and
auctions for registrars...
Also, that ICANN needs to recoup 12 million from all the TLD expense so far...
I actually think the BBC itself is likely to get a TLD of dot BBC....
and then put IDN's and ASCII at the second level for all the languages they broadcast in......
中国.bbc
That will give some Beijing bureaucrats a challenge in 2009 wouldn't it ????
interesting and challenging to the ASCII types first....of course....
I think Tata in India is likely to jump on getting one also....
probably the UN, and professional sports leagues as well......
just some thoughts ...........
