For Immediate Release

.Asia Go Live kicks off: Millions of High Value Domains Still available on First-Come-First-Served basis.

Hong Kong, 26 March 2008 – DotAsia Organisation announces Go Live of the “.Asia” registry, signifying the start of first-come-first-served registrations, allowing anyone around the world to get their

.Asia domain instantaneously. “With over 10 million domains registered in China alone and over 150 million worldwide, the potential for .Asia is only now starting to be realized.

There are millions of great .Asia domains still available on a first-come-first-served basis,” says Edmon Chung, CEO of DotAsia.

During the earlier Sunrise and Landrush phases, .Asia already received over 500,000 domain registration applications. About 45,000 domains received more than one application, and will go to auction.

This proved to be successful in reducing the chaos created in previous domain launches as registrants clamour for high value domains.

Sounds like he meant "160 million [total] domains registered worldwide". Not 160 million .asia domains.

IMO .asia will have trouble finding a niche.

With a little over 10 million .cn domains registered worldwide, I don't understand how the Chinese inside China found over 10 million .Asia to register before March 26.

Right, my bad...edited. I think thats 160 million .asia domains!

With a little over 10 million .cn domains registered worldwide, I don't understand how the Chinese inside China found over 10 million .Asia to register before March 26.

Its obvious because its more than 150 countries participated.
Regarding the 10 million within China, thats peculiar???
As most of the best .asia domains was labeled "government reserved and sunrise applied even on those generic domains", "???Who knows, maybe just by China???Dotasia.org"
