citizens online and IDN has not yet been 'rolled
out' there!.. (and yet .cn is currently #6 worldwide).

Is it really fantasy to believe that when the 'sleeping
giant' awakes, its .cn TLD will eclipse .com?? (in terms
of number).

Yes, .com will always be great, and .cn will never
supplant its popularity in North America, but I am talking
about numbers here - the most popular TLD, in terms of
number, worldwide.

Too much faith in .cn? I don't think so. The Chinese
government will (rightly) be supporting .cn, in pref.
to .com, and we are already seeing much evidence
of that now...
