Internet protocol from ICANN?

ICANN-Meeting: Ochsentour internationalisierte Domains
Arabische und asiatische Länder drängen: Die ICANN
soll den Weg für internationale Domains
(Internationalized Domain Names, IDN) frei machen.
"Der Bedarf nach komplett arabischen Domains ist
wirklich groß. Wir warten nun darauf, dass ICANN uns
ermöglicht, diese Domains zu nutzen", sagte Abdulaziz
Al-Zoman, Direktor von SaudiNIC beim ICANN-Treffen in
Kuala Lumpur. Die Internet- und DNS-Verwaltung ICANN
müsse dafür sorgen, dass der für die Liste der
Länderdomains verantwortliche Standard ISO 3166-1 die
entsprechenden landessprachlichen Kürzel aufnehme,
forderte James Seng, langjähriger IDN-Entwickler und
inzwischen in Diensten der "Infocomm Development
Authority" des Stadtstaats Singapur.

Una IP para cada persona
Una iniciativa de la ICANN para implantar el protocolo

planeta y a multitud de dispositivos electrónicos.

CreditCards.com Domain Name Sells for $2.75 Million
"CreditCards.com, the domain name, has been purchased

Texas-based firm specializing in marketing financial
products online. The purchase, announced yesterday
(July 20, 2004), represents the fifth highest selling
price for a domain name on record." I have to admit,
