.asia domains – just in case you did not get the memo

In case you are already playing in Asia or are planning to enter the market, you may want to consider having a .asia website for the region. (e.g. talent2.asia, michaelpage.asia, hudson.asia).
You were able to get a .asia top level domain since around mid-march and it’s still early stages. Last time i checked the process is a little more protracted than the registration of other domains (.com et al) and I think it is a more expensive too.
A couple of people I have spoken to think this is a rip off. Although I don’t have a major problem with the conspiracy theory, my view is that for a few hundred dollars it’s worthwhile going through the process and see if the new domain takes off. To me that’s a better option than losing a web address that I would have liked to own because it goes with my regional presence, branding, etc.
If you need a hand with this drop me an email jorgeatlatinocean.com, though it is pretty easy
cheers.
