<pre>1. Researchers Map the Internet [AP]<br>Sending queries to about 2.8 billion IP addresses over two months, the<br>University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute have<br>produced a map that shows the density of computers around the world. Their

<br>The launch of the IDN test by ICANN gained coverage around the world in many<br>languages. The Washington Post was one to have a detailed story, saying the<br>long wait "has left many in the non-English-speaking world impatient and
<br>angry. Questions of political and linguistic sovereignty, alongside<br>accusations of American 'digital colonialism,' have motivated some countries<br>to create their own Internets, effectively mounting a challenge to the World
<br>Wide Web." Michael Geist is quoted commenting on the difficulty for<br>non-English speakers who says "Think of what it would be like if every time<br>you typed out an e-mail address or visited a Web site you had to use Chinese
<br>characters or Sanskrit." Milton L. Mueller and John Palfrey are also quoted.<br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/10/AR2007101002">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/10/AR2007101002

reported the announcement, but a few articles delved a little deeper. The<br>Register notes, "Carpet baggers will have to wait for their chance to hoover<br>up potentially valuable names" as "governments, trademark owners, and
<br>official bodies" are currently the only entities able to register. Noting a<br>Latin American and African TLD "are both on their way", they also quote<br>Nominet's head Lesley Cowley who says this could be last TLD where there is
<br>a huge demand for registrations given ICANN is likely to allow a relaxation<br>in rules leading to a leap in the number of TLDs available. This possible<br>leap in TLDs could mean trademark owners simply feel there are too many TLDs
<br>to register a domain name in each one.<br><br>Meanwhile Agency FAQs quotes Ching Chaio, vice-president, community<br>relations at DotAsia Organisation who says they would like to emulate .eu<br>and are aiming for 2 million registrations.

2.8<br>billion numeric "Internet Protocol," or IP, addresses that identify<br>individual computers on the Internet. Replies came from about 187 million of<br>the IP addresses, and researchers used that data to map out where computers

<br>bieten eine Reihe deutscher Registrare die neuen Adressen bereits in der<br>heute gestarteten Sunrise-Phase an. Da es aber vorerst nicht nach dem<br>"First-Come-First-Serve"-Prinzip geht, sondern die bis 30. Oktober
<br>einlaufenden Registrierungen von Markeninhabern gleich behandelt werden,<br>ließen sich viele Registrare Zeit. Manch ein Anbieter – wie der US-Hoster<br>Godaddy – schaffte es ohnehin nur auf den letzten Drücker, die<br>
Akkreditierung bei der für die Adresszone verantwortlich zeichnenden DotAsia<br>Organisation Ltd. zu bekommen.<br><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/97145">http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/97145
