Danny:

The article you quote is nonsense - nothing more then a little icann
propaganda.  There are now 320 servers world wide that see the chinese
tlds.  That includes all the major isps in china.  The chinese were the
first to launch their own tlds.  Today turk telecom is busy doing the
same.

The world is not waiting for icann to wake up.  You should investigate
this carefull because your write up is in error.  I do in fact support
what you have said - but your quote on china is definately in error.

regards
joe
