Is that ICANN approved or Verisign approved? :) q2.How much do companies pay for domain names now? q3.How much would they be prepared to pay..??-->market economy!!?? hmmm... My wife is Chinese and apparantly the .china domain name is not used much at the moment. My experience is that Chinese culture is collaborrative and civilised so I think that additional Chinese content would add to the WWW. The fact that current design does not allow control of root DNS from within China is not their fault so I think it is understandable for experimentation in short term bridging methods such as this. IPv6 should make things easier in this respect. best wishes to site contributors Paul q1. Is that ICANN approved or Verisign approved? :)
