To add to the list of commerical efforts,
1. IONIC announced Japanese domain names registration under .jp.io in Japan sometime in Nov 99. See www.nic.jp.io for details.
2. ThaiURL.com has started offering Thai URLs to the public in Thailand in Dec 99. www.ThailURL.com
And of course, there is the i-DNS.net which is a spin-off from the iDNS effort by APNG. Service was first launch in Taiwan on Nov 99.
And of course all these are incompatible, right? I know the .NU stuff is incompatible with the iDNS stuff.
