[swinog] oe Switch.ch
According to today's NetzwocheTicker and http://www.switch.ch/about/news.html?id=112 : At the request of the internet community in Switzerland, SWITCH is adding the letter œ to the range of characters permitted in domain names ending in .ch and .li. Interesting, because as mentioned in the news itself, œ cannot be typed in directly, since it is not even available on French keyboards (cf. http://www.ibt.ca/images/AZERTY_1.jpg). And it's also not on our swiss-french/german keyboards. So *who* will use that? :) (ok, it's also the case for many of the others chars listed under https://nic.switch.ch/reg/staticHtmlView.action?site=faqs/idnnavKey=info.support.faq.idn ) Just wondering: who from the internet community asked for that? I guess this person is probably be around on Swinog list, so he/she could explain us ... :-) And what if the internet community were asking for cheaper .ch/.li domains (for example for Fr. 10.-/year) or to remove the minimum length three characters limitation? :) regards have a nice snowy week-end!

The ICANN will probably sign the agreement with Verisign in a few days, so dotNet and dotCom will just cost the double in 10 years (7% per year, i'll let you verify ...). $12, ok we're far from the CHF 35,- asked by Switch but dotCh will probably become a good choice in a few years. If interested, you can send a comment to ICANN about this agreement at settlement-comments *AT* icann.org . Feel free to do so. Good luck if you're on the road today !

Sitch accept the oe Symbol. What is with the American DNS Servers? I think many of the US DNS couldn't handle ä, ö ü and oe? Will this be fixed in the nexts years...

I feel that domain names are totally overrated, and they will become less and less relevant as time goes on. I used to try to guess domain names of companies I wanted to contact. Now, I just enter a search - much faster, and much more accurate. -- Mickey Coggins Tel: +41-79-210-3762 ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

To put umlouds in the DNS-Servers, you don't need any changes at the DNS protocoll or the servers itself. Everything is handled in the application like the browser. See [1] as an example. [1] http://übel.lugs.ch/ [2] http://xn--bel-goa.lugs.ch/ You will notice that a modern Mozilla / Firefox / Opera converts the entered umloud automatically to the punycode. You will also notice that IE is not able to handle this URL. I don't understand Switch, why the still try to earn money with such a useless thing...
