Dot VN, Inc., ,an Internet and Telecommunications Company and the exclusive online global domain name registrar for the Country of Vietnam, announced today that it, along with the Vietnam Internet Network Information Center ("VNNIC") and Key-Systems, GmbH ("Key-Systems") will host a launch event celebrating the opening of general registrations of Vietnam's native language internationalized domain name ("Vietnamese IDN") on April 28, 2011.
The ceremony, hosted at VNNIC's headquarters in Hanoi, Vietnam, marks both the launch of the Vietnamese IDN and the 11 year anniversary of the founding of VNNIC and will feature key note addresses from VNNIC, Key-Systems and Dot VN, with additional guests from the government, local partners and resellers and the Vietnamese national media. Additionally, the April 28th event will mark the beginning of open registrations for the newly rebranded Vietnamese IDNs. Registrations of the Vietnamese IDN will be available through Key-Systems worldwide and domestically at www.ten.vn.
"The launch of the Vietnamese language Internet signifies Vietnam's transition to a more mature online society," said Dot VN CEO Thomas Johnson. "Moreover, the Vietnamese IDN will allow the over 89 million people in Vietnam and the estimated 3.7 million overseas Vietnamese, both existing internet users as well as potential Internet users deterred by the language barrier, their chance to claim their own piece of the internet in their native language."
Historically, Vietnam's Internet growth has proven to be incredibly strong as evidenced by the exponential increase in the number of Internet users in Vietnam. In 2000, there were 430,000 Internet users. VNNIC's most recent statistics as of December 2010 show that there over 26.7 million Internet users, an increase of over 6,100 percent in just ten years.
