ICANN approves another useless domain - .ASIA
Quote:
A key oversight agency has approved a ".asia" domain for Internet addresses, supplementing suffixes available for individual countries, such as ".cn" for China and ".jp" for Japan, an Associated Press report said.
The report said the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) earlier approved ".eu" for the European Union.
Made up of groups that ran domain names for China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and other countries, the DotAsia Organization planned to explore permitting domain names in Asian languages under ".asia." ICANN had also been exploring allowing suffixes in other languages, though that would take time and was unaffected by Wednesday's decision on ".asia," the report said.
Finalizing the contract between ICANN and DotAsia could take weeks.
