Network domain Name "change" Can not be belittled

Chart: International applications for non-English domain names on the internet will be officially opened on November 16. Xinhua News Agency, Beijing November 4 (reporter Yang Jun), Internet domain name and Address distribution Agency (ICANN) decided that in the future can use Chinese, Arabic and Korean and other non-Latin alphabet words registered Internet domain names.　　This decision is related to hundreds of millions of of people around the world and its impact is naturally negligible. The surge in the number of Internet users using a variety of non-Latin languages has radically changed the pattern of the web. That may be why ICANN has to consider making changes. The agency points out that there are around 1.6 billion internet users in the world, and more than half of them use languages other than Latin. There is no doubt that Chinese is the mother tongue of many netizens. Figures released by the 2009 China Internet Conference show that China already has 3. 600 million netizens, and 9 months ago that number was 300 million.　　No wonder ICANN has repeatedly put the "Chinese" and "China" factors first in the document that announced the decision. Domain Name "change", breaking the network domain name in the Latin alphabet dominating the world situation, will change the future of many people's domain name input and search habits. For users who use non-Latin languages, the domain name is clearly easier to remember and use.　　In addition, the Latin alphabet cannot express the "homonym" problem in some languages. Bextorom, ICANN's president, says the new domain change is not only needed for more than half of the world's Internet users, but will also benefit more netizens in the future.　　This is true, the market research institute "Jupiter Research" recently published a report that by 2012 the total number of Internet users will account for One-fourth of the population, and the "change" in the domain name will accelerate the growth of netizens. Network domain name "change" deeper influence, it is related to the Internet industry. Domain name, as an important basic resource of Internet, is of scarcity and uniqueness.　　With the development of the Internet, registration to a short, easy to remember the domain name is more difficult, the scarcity of more prominent. At present, the domain name on the Enterprise brand building, product promotion has irreplaceable role, has become a bigger and stronger enterprises, to the broader market driven factors. Therefore the domain name is promoted to the whole development strategy by the general enterprise. Under this background, to enlarge the Internet, we must widen the "territory" of the network domain name.　　No wonder ICANN's former president, Paul Toumy, says the domain name is like the "real estate" of the internet, and deregulation means that the "real estate" of the internet will increase substantially. Some people worry that the "change" in the domain name will increase the difficulty of language communication in the Internet world. This may be unfounded. When the computer just began to popularize, only use the Latin alphabet interface of the operating system, this does not know how many people will computer "shut out". It is with the advent of the operating system of the multilingual interface that computer penetration and later Internet penetration have increased rapidly.　　Let more people contact the mother tongue, can promote the Internet development. Of course, the network domain name "change" also may bring the problem, this is the domain name management difficulty will be bigger. How to avoid the trend of domain name registration, how to avoid network fraud, "cottage" site, how to identify applications to avoid domain names, the Internet domain name management agencies can not avoid the problem. The development of domain name in the end is disorderly elephant clusters or orderly, is thriving or disputes constantly, all rely on scientific management.
