Could you comment on which network and or news program that was on ?

A national program ?

not a municipal station I presume ?

thanks...Steve

I am not sure.
It did start a conversation in SearchEngines.ru ...7 pages as of right now.

Some are continuing with the regular shit how everyone speaks English but some already admit it is at the point of no return and anticipate a quick adaption to .рф

With all that .рф discussion they may just miss on idn.idn .com/net

, Or did they do that already?

14 pages...I got to page 4, heating up.

Looks like their down for maint:

На сервере ведутся плановые работы.
Через некоторое время сервер снова будет доступен для посетителей.
Приносим извинения за неудобства.

My Russian friend does the transliteration thing 'what a pain in the a$$'

The traffic to "typos" is going to take a hit when IDNs get moving mainstream.

Indeed .com will take a typo from .рф
