New domain suffix for Asia

In a move reflecting the growing Asian flavor of the Internet, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) yesterday approved the first top-level domain registry based in the Asia-Pacific region.
 The .asia top-level domain will join other Asian-Pacific Internet domains, such as Japan, China, and South Korea already managed by DotAsia Organization. The addition brings the total number of Internet domain suffixes to 266.
