The problems of viewing IDNs by Kim Davies
... What I would like to talk about is some of the difficulties we face today in expressing scripts in a consistent way over the Internet. The fact is, whilst we are at the best time in history for having computers represent many different languages clearly and consistently, we are still a long way from the level of support needed to give us strong confidence that people can always see what we intend them to see.

What's the Hindi Word for Dot-Com?
Long-dominated by English, the language of its founders, the Internet is about to take a big step toward becoming a truly world-wide Web. Starting on Monday, Web surfers will be able to test Internet addresses in 11 languages that don't use the Roman alphabet -- the 26 letters used in English and most other European languages.

ICANN begins testing URLs with non-Roman characters
It's been a long time coming. A little over seven years ago, ICANN, the organization that assigns Internet domain names, committed to the idea of providing support for internationalization of those names. Last year, we reported that, after three years of development, tests of the system were under way. ICANN has now announced that the first sites using fully internationalized domain names will be accessible to Internet users starting Monday.

Other alphabets take on English domain
Is the World Wide Web truly worldwide? Depends on whom you ask. Since the Internet came into widespread use, those among the 70 percent of the world that doesn't speak English have argued the Web is inaccessible. So next week the nonprofit group contracted by the U.S. government to run the Internet will begin testing domain names in other alphabets.

Thoughts on the Domain Name Price Increases by Elliot Noss
I wanted to share some thoughts with all of you on a dark day in Internet history. On October 15th the price of a .com will increase by $0.42, marking the first price increase in the history of the modern Internet. Worse, this now signals a near-annual event that will take place in all major gTLDs. It is simply wrong.

U.S. Government Seeks to deny the Internet to its enemies
Cyberspace may become a more active battlefield in the Bush administration's war on terrorism. The new National Strategy for Homeland Security, issued earlier this week by the White House, places a greater emphasis on the "uninterrupted use of the Internet and the communications systems, data, monitoring, and control systems that comprise our cyberinfrastructure."
...
Exactly how the government expects to deny the Internet to terrorists isn't spelled out. One possible way might be through the United State's de facto control of the Domain Name System, though it's unlikely that card would be played outside of a confrontation with a major world power.

The Golden Keys of E-Commerce: Opinion by Naseem Javed
Today, in order to have a commanding e-commerce presence with universal access, domain names must be treated like very special golden keys. Without an effective domain name, the entire exercise of Internet-centric commerce becomes almost useless. Super success in cyber-branding lies in the sophisticated creation, development and ownership of these powerful and magical keys, so that they may open the door to an undiscovered universe of billions of unknown customers around the world.

Les langues asiatiques sont en passe d'être plus utilisées que l'anglais sur Internet. Selon le site Internetworldstats.com, sur les 1,2 milliard de personnes qui utilisent Internet dans le monde, 31 % ont l'anglais comme première langue. Mais le chinois augmente sans cesse : 15,7 % des internautes sont sinophones, nombre qui a quintuplé en sept ans. L'Asie compte le plus grand nombre d'internautes (437 millions) avec un taux de pénétration de seulement 12 % de la population. Les 322 millions d'internautes européens et les 233 millions de Nord-Américains représentent respectivement des taux de pénétration de 40 % et 70 %.
