Soon Domain names(Web Addresses) in Indian 22 Indian language

Imagine you are typing a URL like भारत.भारत or भारत.in or you have got a domain name which is in your language say HINDI or BANGLA or MARATHI etc.This sound very interesting to have domain name as the same as what we talk in our Typical regional language. As of now Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers which is  International non-profit body that oversees allocation of domain names globally. (ICANN) has allowed India to register website addresses in as many as seven regional languages (Hindi, Gujarati, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali and Telugu). 

As of now Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has allowed India to register website addresses in as many as seven regional languages (Hindi, Gujarati, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali and Telegu). 
But there are various challenging task in INDIAN language in terms of complex script and diffrent varient of writing in Indian Language. just for example if you want to type Anand you have two variation आनंद and आनन्द such variation need to analyse.
Once the Indian langauge domain name start rolling out in full swing net user can register their website addresses in Indian script.

Indian script are not so easy as English for sigle word in HINDI it can be written in diffrenet format.There should be a guideline which will decide which form of spelling is correct or standard among diffrent variation.
Right now NIXI is conducting test to make sure the script work perfectly.Once the Indian language domain name start rolling out in full swing net user can register their website addresses in Indian script.As of now Research and policy formulation and designing a final standard for all 22 Indian language are in pipeline.
If you want to view a example of this visit this link http://सीडैक.com If you can't view on clicking just copy and paste on your URL preferably Internet Explorer.In some browser you will found some code type URL after clicking above mentioned URL like http://xn--11bx2e6a3b.com/ this is technically called Punycode which ultimately decide the domain name and resolve hosting IP. If your IE browser show punny code once you send request after typing in HINDI then you need to set Language preference in Browser. To set language Preference just goto open IE>Goto Tools> Internet Option>Under general tab on the bottom there is button called Language Click language button , on click there will be a dialog widow which will prompt you to select Language by default English is selected you need to add HINDI into that list .Once done with this step close the browser and re-open it and type the above mention URL in HINDI


Well for most of netizens this may not really matter but this could mean a lot in boosting internet to common man.According to me if you talk about look term result for this effort it would sure lead to few things that is 
1)Increase in branded Regional Content,this would make much more appelating to people. This willl help to target business to particular community or particalar region
2) Help to easy Recall for a website to some level
3) Boot Internet usage to common man in INDIA and let them udersatnd IT in their own langauge. This will help to easily commnuiate and spread message to common man in their langauge

 What's your opinion toward this and long term result
