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... Or is this only a mareting Joke of
the Switch...

 Hmmm, not the good day to say this ... 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.

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.

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...

Gruss Beat
