"Internationalized domain names will be dramatically impactful"..... seems at least 1 out of 15 people interviewed knows about them. :-p

(Article in DNJournal, quote from interview with Paul Stahura, Enom founder and biggest gTLD 'gamer' investing almost $5 mil in ICANN fees alone.)

QUOTE: "Internationalized domain names - IDNs - will be the first names released into the root and will be dramatically impactful,"
Stahura added. "As I mentioned, we've seen new names like IDNs before, but not at this volume. The result obviously
will be increased adoption of Internet usage in other parts of the world, and that's a very good thing economically."

No surprise the "product manager" from SEDO doesn't even mention IDNs which one would think to be a natural market for them to expolit in Europe and Asia.

And the rest, nary a mention of local language domains.....seems they don't even have a clue that .com is part of the new gTLD program while most continue to spout off about .com being king.

Not sure "dramatically impactful" is real English, but at least he has heard of IDNs and realizes what a dramatic impact they will make.

Don't expect Rick to ever talk about IDNs lol :-p:-p:-p

It is a good job that Ron has enough time on his hands to massage their inflated egos.

Not sure who else is really interested in hearing them talking their books.
