China Forecasts Spread of Chinese Domain Names - PC World

It only affects those who speak Chinese, so only every 6th person in the world...

But really I don't see this having an enormous effect on domaining world, the most money will always be around .com and English language.

Tell that to the Germans! And the majority of the world that does not read or write English.

I am pleased that yourself and many others think that may be the case,as it allowed myself and a few others to build up a very nice portfolios of "worthless" idn mine personally mostly Chinese .中国

China itself is where the money will come from and I think it will be big, and in the word's of Al Jolson- "You ain't seen nothing yet"

"The Internet is set to undergo one of the biggest changes in its four-decade history with the expected approval this week of international domain names — or addresses — that can be written in languages other than English, an official said Monday.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN — the non-profit group that oversees domain names — is holding a meeting this week in Seoul. Domain names are the monikers behind every Web site, e-mail address and Twitter post, such as ".com" and other suffixes." - sfgate.com
