What do India based domainers think about idn whether it be Hindi or whatever.
Is it as widely though that English is, and will be, the language of the Indian internet for some time to come or is it considered that idn will soon take hold in the Indian cyberspace?
“There are some 150 million English speakers in India, but the rest of the population speaks in one of 22 different languages and they use one of 11 (written) scripts.
“The Indian Government is putting fibre (for broadband connections) into 500,000 villages across the nation, and they are focused on bringing the next hundred million people online.
“Once you start to think about those numbers of people coming on as active users using domain names, then you are confronted with why the DNS has to go from roman characters only to something else.”
