China To Launch Alternate Country Code Domains
Michael Geist writes in a note to the Interesting People mailing list:
China is preparing to launch what appears to be an alternate root.
Starting tomorrow, they will establish four country-code domains. In addition to the current dot-cn, they will offer Chinese character versions of dot-China, dot-net, and dot-com. As one article puts it, this "means Internet users don't have to surf the Web via the servers under the management of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) of the United States."
