Just wanted to start a thread for these 2 TLDs, their launch has attracted some media love, they have flown Kevin Murphy to Macau etc.

Seems pretty confused.

Wish them luck. Be interesting to see if the Chinese go for IDN.idn as there has been little interest so far.

ASCII.cn however has been steaming with yet another xxx,xxx sale (400K+)with Baby.cn plus many others.
