Korean IDN leads SnapNames roster this week

[wrdekle]

So this was reported in the "press"

http://dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm

"A Korean IDN (International Domain Name) led the SnapNames roster and ranks as the week's second biggest sale. 휴대폰.com (the puny code is xn--vk1bq83dvhc.com) attracted $36,194. We are told the translation is "hand phones," equivalent to what English speakers would refer to as mobile or cell phones."

This is the first of many IDN deals to come. The landscape 6 months from now won't even look like it does right now. If you are still digging around in fourth-rate ASCII domains, maybe it is time to start cracking open a foreign language dictionary to pick up prime IDNs on the aftermarket while we can still afford to.
