"Dot VN, Inc., Lee Johnson, Co-Founder and President of Dot VN, Inc. (OTC Trading Symbol: DTVI) writes to shareholders as follows:
Dear Friends:
Close to two months ago, on April 28, 2011, Dot VN and VNNIC launched the Vietnamese Native Language Internationalized Domain Name System (“Vietnamese IDNs”), a separate system of Domain Names that are written in native Vietnamese. We believe that the IDNs represent the next stage of evolution in the Vietnamese Internet. An internet that speaks to the Vietnamese people in their own language; accessed, searched and used in their native tongue. We believed that the IDNs would be the next big thing in the Vietnamese Internet. Based on the response we have received, we think the Vietnamese people agree with us.
Since the official launch, we are proud to report that we have registered over 229,000 Vietnamese IDNs. As of today, the total number of IDNs registered has exceeded the standard Vietnamese ccTLD (English alphabet). To put it succinctly, we have accomplished in two months what had before taken ten years. In the coming months we hope to continue the rapid expansion of the Vietnamese Native Language Internet as well as add new products and services to enrich its value and enhance the overall user experience.
Vietnam’s population in the past few years has grown into a sophisticated and savvy technological society. The overwhelming adoption of the
Vietnamese IDNs clearly demonstrates that point. Moreover, their thirst for online services and demands for better and more reliable applications pushes us to offer new and exciting programs integrated into the IDN offering. We believe that the IDNs will become a tremendous tool for businesses both in Vietnam and internationally to reach Vietnamese consumers in their language. In addition to IDN registration services, we look forward to offering these businesses a variety of value added services from web hosting to search engine marketing.
In the coming weeks, we will be launching our all-new IDN web designer application. Each IDN user will have the option of designing their own webpage, with our application, which can be customized with their own photos, videos and text. We have also integrated an INFO.VN news feed into the web designer templates and in the coming months expect to upgrade the service with cutting edge communications tools, daily deals and entertainment offerings to enhance the users experience and generate revenues for the Company. We will continue to strive towards building an online network that delights and energizes the Vietnamese Internet user while supporting social exchange and commerce.
As we move forward, we will continue to update you on the latest Company news including exciting new services on our INFO.VN platform. We also recommend you visit our website frequently for important information: www.DotVN.com. I thank you for your support and shared belief in Dot VN as we look ahead to our promising future."
