Internet.bs Corp., an accredited EURid registrar, recently announced no fees for pre-registrations for any available .eu domains.
The company says that the race for space is on as .com followers line up for the new offering of .eu domains set to go public on April 7, 2006, but its customers don’t have to wait till then to get their domain name. It’s a unique opportunity for individuals and businesses to acquire new and valuable .eu Internet domains from the first day.
Landrush (Phase 3) is now open to all seeking to acquire a new .eu domain name. There will be neither auctions nor competition between customers. Each claimant is placed in an individual slot. If different entities claim the same name, the order in which claims are received by the registry will prevail.

ICANN to test non-English domain names
The Internet’s key oversight agency has outlined a plan for testing domain names entirely in non-English characters, bringing closer to reality a change highly sought by Asian and Arabic Internet users.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers announced a tentative timetable Tuesday that calls for tests to begin in the second half of the year. The tests would help ensure that introducing non-English suffixes wouldn’t wreck a global addressing system that millions of Internet users rely upon every day.
The Internet’s main traffic directories know only 37 characters: the 26 letters of the Latin script used in English, the 10 numerals and a hyphen.
Constraining non-English speakers to those characters is akin to forcing all English-speakers to type domains in Chinese. As a result, ICANN has faced pressures to adopt technical tricks that let the directories understand other languages.
