Re: .see vs .china vs IDN.com vs IDN.cn
I mean of course just IDN gTLDs. There will soon be a big rebranding of sorts, with companies transforming their domain names to their native language. If there's any time to steal a piece of the .com pie, this is it. I'm just not sure how possible it is.

a weak extension will dramatically reduce advertising ROI, it just sucks as the o.co or nissan.com cases show.
i think it would be too costly make an extension wildly popular that way.

Well there is no advantage then.
Why then have so many members here been so interested in aliasing for? Given that Verisign has gone the translit route, it won't make any difference, because it appears the translits are meaningless for branding and have no improved usability.

It has always been the second level which is most relevant.
But to be relevant it needs to be widely adopted.
This hasn't happened......Yet.

I'm interested in aliasing because I own Thai domains not Chinese domains.
On a scale of 1 to 100, I rate the importance of aliasing in Thailand around a 99. Hence why I've sold no Thai names to date.
If grandfathering doesn't happen, let's just say I won't be wasting another 10 years on IDNs because IDNs will lose all relevance in Thailand.
Other markets will vary.

Arabic ditto. And more so due to Right to Left issue.a
Sure IDN.com gets loads of traffic but it is still a busted flush.

Not required, as the answer is self-evident.

Yes, in terms of usability, .com has no disadvantage compared to IDN TLDs. It is very easy to type .com. Most people type English letters to get Chinese. Using one of the most popular Chinese input systems as an example (others are probably similar). For clickSee, you can type dk to get a list of hints, where clickSee would be the first (not now, but in the future that will happen), and you select 1 to finish the process. For other Chinese TLDs, it is similar. For com, you can type c and you will get com as the first one on the list, and then you select 1, or you can simply type com and just hit return, you also get com, whichever way you prefer. In terms of typing in the domain name, com is actually faster. But I do not know how much that will affect their adoptions though.

Re: .see vs .china vs IDN.com vs IDN.cn
Aliasing .ком will make all .com Russian domains 'real'. That much is clear.

Re: .see vs .china vs IDN.com vs IDN.cn
.WS has been the winner so far with Chinese domains.

There is a possibility that VeriSign will separate .com and .ClickSee following what cnnic has done for .cn and .china.

Re: .see vs .china vs IDN.com vs IDN.cn
I own car.com (Chinese equivalent of .com), think my opinion would be bias in this case. PS new to the forum, I don't bite
