I don't believe that Frank is deliberately trying to spin anything, but he does have a very US-Centric view of the way the World works. I don't believe he has the xenophobic passion of some of the ASCII crowd, but I think he does seriously believe that World Trade is dominated by English Marketing, and will increasingly become so. I have this morning attempted to explain to him why he is wrong. I hope and trust that he will take such an outright rebuke in the spirit is was intended. I think, however, this young man has a maturity beyond his years, unlikely some of the elders from that community.

How might Frank's blog take this news?
"Apparently according to a very knowledgeable friend next gen voice recognition technology will make all domain names except for great ascii domains obsolete within our lifetimes. The tolerances built-in to these technologies will even allow people with Chinese accents to pronounce english words with the precision of an english native speaker. Could this be the end for IDN before it even begins?"
