ITU Concerned About .TEL Numeric Domains

The International Telecommunication Union has expressed concerns about Telnic’s proposal [pdf] to introduce numeric .tel domain names, saying they could cause confusion or conflicts.

The ITU claims in a letter to ICANN the introduction of numeric .tel domains “raises a number of policy, legal, and practical implications on the potential usage of all-digit strings, not only under .TEL domain, but also under any future telephony-related new gTLDs, because of the possible perceived mapping of the ITU-T E.164 numbering plan into the Domain Name System (DNS), without appropriate procedures to ensure that rights of assignees of Recommendation ITU-T E.164 numbers are properly protected.”

The ITU concerns include that registrants could register domains with numbers the same as a company’s phone number. There are also concerns around national-only numbers like short codes (e.g., 112) and international ITU-T E.164 numbers. Further, the ITU wants to know how the numeric domains will be used and how will unallocated and unused numbers be used.

Afnic : Correlation between Entrepreneurship/Registration under the .FR TLD Still Strong

Afnic,the company behind .FR extension has published a new key figure .This month,the report highlights the correlation between start-ups and the registration of domain names under the .fr TLD.   

 

You can read the announcement after the jump :

“The high level of correlation observed since January 2007 has been confirmed for the period 2012-2013.

It may be noted that if the average correlation rate since 2007 is around 70%, this figure is actually much higher when no single event affects it.

For instance, the correlation rate stood at 81% in 2007/2008 and 82% in 2010/2011, reaching 90% in 2012/2013 and 94% in 2009/2010.

In 2008/2009, the rate declined to 24% due to the introduction of the auto-entrepreneur status in January 2009, a large number of people having opted for this tax system.

In 2011/2012, the opening of the .fr TLD to holders throughout Europe (December 2011) and the introduction of domainnames with IDN characters (July 2012) dropped the rate to 56%. It may be noted that the persistence of a high correlation between start-ups in France and creations of domain names under the .fr TLD reflects the preponderance of the French market in .fr TLD business, compared with its opening to Europe.

This also leads to two conclusions:

firstly, that most of the new companies integrate “internet” issues in their strategies by registering at least one domain name;

secondly, that the domain name is usually a .fr TLD, the French namespace becoming one of the indicators of the health of the digital economy in France.”
