Russia Weighs Going Cyrillic For DNS
An anonymous reader writes "The Guardian reports that the Kremlin may start an alternate top-level domain, .rf. According to the story, .ru in Cyrillic translates to .py, the top-level domain for Paraguay, which the Russian government claims leads to confusion. This is similar to a move by China, which has their own .net and .com top-level domains in their native character set along with .cn, .com, and .net in ASCII." Hindering Paraguayan hackers may matter less to the Russian government than establishing greater control over a walled-off Internet.

if they ever want to improve their crappy economy, they should all just learn english. In case you haven't noticed, every country that does international business has like 50% of the people know fluent english. Plus who the heck else in the world uses cyrillic?

The Internet is an invention of the United States. We read and write in English using ASCII. If you want to connect to our Internet, then use our rules. If you want to do different, then, use your own but don't call it the Internet because that is our invention.
If you don't like this solution....tough. This is our Internet.
