in my previous post, I had mentioned that asian companies usually prefer doing business in asia than the western since their cultures are almost similar and labor is cheap. A lof of Japanese companies set up companies in asian countries trying to expand their companies worldwide. For a Japanese company having just one company in Thailand - it is considered an international company. IMO.

I work for a mobile development company developing mobile websites with media. I have been trying to pursuade my company to expand to America or UK. They said that it was a good idea, but travel expenses and strict business laws keeps them from expanding in the west. We currently do business in Thailand, HK, Korea, Taiwan and soon Singapore. So instead of getting ALL the countries extensions, we got just .asia. and goodness, there are a lot of asian countries compared to Europe.

I think it would take a few years for this extension to set in, but i really do think there is great potential in this name.

If you have a good name, you could end up getting a lot more money from asia than the west as the habit of funds is to hoard it all and spend on items to help expose their companies and themselves.

Since you have some experience in asia, i recommend that you get some you think would do well. I am trying to convince the others (who have no idea about asia) to not buy any names unless they are prime/dictionary.

Still waiting for others from asia to participate in this thread......
