for new domain name like .asia, this is long investment.
you will wait until you forgot the domain you have, than it will become valuable.

people might apply .asia and then route back to their .com

.asia seems to be good one for targeting specific Asian market which is still in developing phase.

Currently it's planed that there will be a landrush in February 2008, if there is more than one "application" for a domain during the landrush then there will be an auction for this domain.
Planed for March 2008 is the go live where you really can register domains after the first-come first-serve principal.
Also you need one local contact to be eligible for the registration.

I think that it haven't launched yet. I have checked with google.asia. It doesn't work for now.

The sunrise period 2a is already over, on November 13th 2b and 2c will start.
During the sunrise periods you just place an application, therefore you are not sure that you get the domain and there will be no dns entries.
You have to wait till next year to see "live" domains.

So as far as I understand I can register domains now and they will start working since new year?
Please let me know if I'm incorrect. To be honest I would like to have some domains in the .asia zone.ServerPoint.com - a true hosting company offering online presence solutions since 1998.

Sunrise Period 2b starts on November 13th and is "for trademarks and service marks registered and in full force and effect, and applied for on or before December 6, 2006".
It doesn't matter from where the trademark is, but you will have to provide at least one local contact.

Thank you for information.
In this case I think a lot of companies must register domains.
One more question: If someone miss this moment and do not register domain name, someone will be able to register it for own needs, right?ServerPoint.com - a true hosting company offering online presence solutions since 1998.
