With the Arabic script there is no reall ccTLD competition and an Arabic equivalent of dot eu is years away. Good Arabic domains will be worth a lot of money, there are, however, a lot of variants out there and I am not at all clear what value US Overture is especially in view of the fact that Yahoo has only recently indexed Arabic for search. My view is that reasonable certainty over the translation combined with a good Google figures is probably worth more.

Was not try to be argumentative. As I said "IMHO" I think there currently are only a select few worth purchasing for $X,XXX+ at the reseller level. Obviously, I see value in Arabic idns, hence the reason for this post. That fact of the matter is that there is still much speculation in this business...

Best regards,
