Well, the news is that Microsoft's Billy in his recent visit to India has put a great thrust to Indian languages as he is collaborating government bodies. I heard that Windows would now be available in major Indian languages. So, that means, perhaps, good days for Indian IDNs. But not sure what will happen to .ins and .co.ins and english.coms? How is IDN market in china, japan, and korea?

Cheers!

From my observation so far, I think there are many times more Korean IDNs than Chinese or Japanese IDNs - i believe that Korean IDNs have progressed beyond speculation - end users are actually registering them.
