ArticlesAlive: Mexico Re opens Dot MX A Buying Opportunity Not to Be Missed?
By : Mike Nardine
Mexico is finally allowing unlimited registration of its TLD (Top Level Domain) extension, .Mx. While registration of third level domains like .Com.Mx had been allowed, registration of the primary (second level) domain extension had been severely limited to certain Mexican entities. And the third level domains, priced at $250.00 for a minimum of two years, must have been beyond the reach of most Mexicans.
This has brought about some interesting results: for example, registration of .De, the official TLD of Germany is about Ten million; on the other hand, Nic Mexico, the administrator for Mexico’s .Mx had allowed the registration of less than 300,000 domains since its inception twenty years ago; Germany has 82 million people, while Mexico’s population approaches 110 million, 27 million of whom reputedly use the Internet. If the desire of Mexicans for their own extension is anything like Germany’s it looks like there could be some explosive growth coming in .MX. The registrar giant Godaddy appears to think so: they recently announced an expansion of their services to Mexico and Spanish speaking customers on a scale not seen for any other ccTLD (country code Top Level Domain).

ITWorld Canada: Chinese domain names to flood Internet
By: Owen Fletcher - IDG News Service (Beijing Bureau)(NA) (26 Aug 2009)
China expects domain names that end in Chinese characters to be mainstream in two years. The government recently deployed Internet domain names written in Chinese
China has pushed ahead with deploying Internet domain names written in Chinese as it urges action to standardize their use globally.
More than 300 million people in China now use the Internet, which puts it on pace to have the largest number of Internet users in the world this year.
Earlier statistics released by industry groups show an increase in global disputes over Web domain names.
China has solved most of the technical problems raised by Chinese-language domain names and is in the process of deploying them, said Zhang Jian, director of the international business department at the country's domain registration agency, the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), in an interview Wednesday.
Within two years, the agency expects all mainstream Web sites in the country will have domain names that end in the two Chinese characters for "China," rather than the .cn top-level domain. It also expects those domain names to become the most widely visited by Chinese Internet users.

Ecommerce Journal: Internet and e-commerce in Austria
August 19, 2009 - 12:00pm | author: kara deniz
Today, we are to talk about one of the Central European countries Austria, bordering Germany and the Czech Republic to the north, Slovakia and Hungary to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, and Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west. The country’s capital, Vienna, is one of the most wonderful cities in the world. The country has developed a high standard of living, and in 2008 was ranked 14th in the world for its Human Development Index. Austria has been a member of the United Nations since 1955, joined the EU in 1995, and is a founder of the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development). Austria also signed the Schengen Agreement in 1995, and adopted the European currency in 1999. We are to consider the Internet and e-commerce infrastructure in Austria to find what stage of development the country is currently on.
As for the broadband market, Internet access is typically represented by DSL and cable, with DSL sector, which rapidly overtook cable as the preferred access method, dominating on the market. There are 37 internet service providers in Austria. The leading cable ISP is UPC Austria, offering cable access under the Chello brand and also DSL access as Inode. The other main cable ISPs are Tele2, and Kabelsignal offering cable services in the area south of Vienna.

Services For The . Net: Dot NU Web Name TLD What A Price For A Countrywide Identity?
By Services For The . Net | Aug 16, 2009
The tiny Polynesian island nation of Niue is beginning to think it’s been had. Frankly, it’s clear they didn’t do their research before they did their deal.
Ironically, it seems the buyer hadn’t really done his, either. Anyone who has been inundated by advertisements for ‘global domains’ can easily understand that it’s a escalating business. The specter of purchasing a domain at a much better price than the more common ‘dot com’ or ‘dot net’ or ‘dot org’ is most attractive to most would-be entrepeneurs on restricted budgets. This niche’s market leader is most likely Global Domains International (GDI), which has no doubt put Western Samoa on the mental map of many a cybernaut. The key element in that deal is that the Western Samoan government granted the rights to GDI in return for a royalty for every domain sold.
Niue’s name is derived from the local language’s phrase for, “Look, a coconut!” It seems they should have used theirs more thoroughly before signing a domain deal with Bill Semich in 1998.
An American businessman whose former station was editor for a computer magazine, Semich recognized the potential value in the marketability of rare domains. Apparently finding the ‘nu’ extension an eye-catching letter arrangement, he signed a contract with the Niue government that gave him the exclusive rights to it.
It wasn’t a one-way deal. Semich assured free wireless access for all 2000 of Niue’s populace and he delivered, finishing the system of an island-wide set-up of translator towers in 2003. The country’s leaders surely felt they had provided their population with a service for the new century which would positively ensconce their place in island history.
