Information Madness

Last month, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICAAN), a non-profit body responsible for assigning Web addresses to users, approved the proposal to use non-Latin scripts, which is expected to transform the Internet landscape.

Domain names are entered in the address bar of the browser to access a Web-site. The domain name provides a unique identity and on clicking on a given domain name, the Web page of the particular site opens up.

Currently, Internet addresses are limited to Latin characters from ‘A' to ‘Z'. But India has done a lot of preparatory work and are now ready to have domain names in Hindi.

India will be ready to have internationalised domain names (IDN) on the internet in Hindi by June next year. So be ready to type in the hindi domain names in your address bars.. हिन्दी.कॉम or भारत.कॉम

  Hindi, Marathi, and other Indian scripts, for domain names have been available
  since 2001, in the .com/net/tv extentions, and will soon be aliased into their
  native language script equivalents...however, they have only been publicized
  recently, as being available.
  
  
  
  Very soon they will be available, in cctld (country code) extentions as well.

  It´s a great step by ICANN to finally be able to introduce this possibility.
  Russia has just launched a Cyrillic version of .RU (for trademark holders only
  at the moment). Ukraine, Egypt and Tunesia are other countries which will profit
  this opportunity in 2010.
