Chinese Domain Name.
Mr. JS sent me this today, http://cdntt.hkdnr.hk/, a Chinese domain trial in a more formal style. All over again, seem there were so many attempts for localised domain name and all of them failed miserably every time.
The reasons why they all failed mainly because technical reasons, they seem forgot Internet is Internet, not Interweb. It is not only HTTP/WEB protocol in Internet, we got email, FTP, RTSP.. so on so on. Most localised domain model/scheme need plug-in or specialised DNS server. We are still on our way from "Insert any encoding here" to Unicode. I think once we finished the transition, we may have little hope to adopt a localised domain name system, but still, the purpose of Internet is to reach as many as people possible, who want to setup a domain name as 鍷鏒鏈.公司?
But anyway, I registered one too, once I've got the confirmation, I'll post it here. ;)
