Chinese Registrars and Domain Names
Published by August 22nd, 2007 in Business Development and China. 2 CommentsWell, hasn’t managing a .CN or any domain name in China been fun. The number of well understood ICANN recommendations that aren’t adhered to is as numerous as the cries for blood following the loss of Australia to Italy in the world cup quarter finals.
