Planning to make a large investment on one-two names (.com or .cn)?

Which do you think is better for china?

Google uses .cn

but yahoo also has 3721.com (i think its owned by yahoo?) as well as yahoo.cn

I think it depends on what the chinese tend to develope.

Right now .com has advantage, because chinese prefers .com domains (cheaper to register and global), so more .com content. Not sure whether this advantage will carry over to future, if .cn price = .com price, with IDN applied to both extensions, and .com becomes .[IDN equivalent of com]

So, one word: Dunno...

cheaper to reg? from what i hear you can get them for $6.50-$8 if you live in China.

Kenne, are you from China? As what you said is kind of speculative

$8 buys only the english.cn I thought they used to be more expensive before, but not sure about that.

IDN.cn is still around $30
