ICANN Moves Ahead With Non-Latin Web Addresses (Video)

As expected , regulatory body ICANN has approved plans to let web addresses be written in non-Latin characters in a move that it calls the "biggest technical change" to how the Internet works since its invention four decades ago. The vote was announced at the last day of the non-profit group's Seoul conference. The proposal would mean that domain names could be written in the languages such as Greek, Chinese, Arabic, Hindu or Cyrillic and be understood natively by the machines that connect computers together over the web.
