News analysis: Non-Latin alphabet domain name brings any _numerical code channel _New China net

    New China net Beijing, October 31 – (by Yang Jun) the Internet may use Chinese, Arabic and Korean from now on and so on non-Latin alphabet writing register domain name. The Internet name and serial number assigned company (ICANN) 30th this decision to arouse the universal interest. What can this decision and web cam brings to affect to IT?

    The Internet is perhaps more popular

    The ICANN decision means that the people may use our language to input the website for the first time completely, but does not need to contain Latin letter. ICANN chief executive officer RhodeBaker Strom said in the statement that “this merely is a start, but this indeed is the Internet advances to the diverse important one step. Relies on this act, may let Asia, Middle East and Russia and other place the user community visits the Internet conveniently, lets them leave Internet nearly one step”.

    It is reported that is in global 1.6 billion web cams at present, more than 50% use right and wrong Latin writing, thus this transformation significance is significant. Even if at the appointed time, does not understand Latin alphabet, the web cam may also use our language to access the net with ease, the global web cam quantity dramatically will possibly increase.

    However, some people have the retention opinion. Because with whether needs to input the Latin alphabet website to compare, the web cam quantity depends on the personal computing popular rate and community broadband network advancement. In addition, some web cams always believe that the input Latin alphabet compared to inputting other writing comes easily.

    　The domain name repetition rate will reduce greatly

    The network domain name was born in the 1980s. The domain name composition formerly was only restricted in 26 Latin alphabets, 10 Arabic numerals and 1 hyphen. However different language writing is different, the same pronunciation the content is also sometimes different, therefore only uses the Latin alphabet domain name to have the obvious flaw, including the domain name repetition rate to be too high.

    With the non-Latin domain name, undoubtedly enables the Internet to have the multiplicity, the domain name repetition rate will reduce greatly. Takes Chinese domain name and website as example, if Chinese personal name “Zhang Heng” and “Zhang Heng” different, but has not actually distinguished with Latin letter spelling. Begins using Chinese domain name, will cause domain name to be more precise, has the multiplicity.

    The domain name registration has the challenge

    Regarding some organizations and enterprise, the domain name are “online trademark”, however “online trademark” “registration” is true the trademark procedure to be simpler than the registration, some enterprises and individual uses this “loophole”, snatches the note well-known enterprise and brand domain name massively. Some experts were therefore worried that after permitting uses the non-Latin alphabet domain name, the Internet will possibly appear newly round snatches the note unrest.

    Perhaps indeed, in the certain circumstances, the intellectual property law can help certain companies either the organization protects some domain name, ICANN also retains has stemmed from “morals or public peace and order” considered that overrules the domain name the right. Whether possibly but present domain name registration administrative mechanism can deal with newly approaches round snatches the note unrest, distinguishes the registration to apply, to make one accurately pay attention.

    In addition, the network security expert was also worried that opens each kind of language register domain name, or will increase further cracks down on the hacker and other cybercrime the difficulties.
