gTLD creates an identity and global presence in the Internet name space. Furthermore, new gTLD initiatives
for cities help to create positive effect on the city economy and in return help business in the city.
promote new gTLD among Asian communities and corporate society.
"With this initiative, we hope that the Asian communities won't be left out in this important milestone and
now with the ability to apply in non-Latin characters only expands the horizons for Asian communities to apply
in Mandarin or other languages." said RegistryASP, CEO, TK Tan.
There are 21 gTLDs currently operating where .com (Verisign) is the most sought after top level domain and
only 1 gTLD represents Asia. By 2010, ICANN estimates 500 new gTLD applications from all over the world.
Community champions can submit new gTLD application based on generic word, community based or
geographically based. For example, ".beijing" represents Beijing city in China and by creating such name
space allows business or individuals to have a global presence and immediately trigger visitor's expectation
and relevancy.
