A new era dawns for international domain names

The internet changed on Wednesday in a big way for countries whose official languages are not based on Latin characters.

In Non-Geek, that means that individuals in countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia will not be restricted to ccTLDs like .eg and .sa.
