ICAAN Aproves bill to open up URLS

The ICAAN, the body that govourns URLs has approved a plan to open up URLs to include non latin charactors. While it sound great news in principle, it remains to be seen if is going to work in practice.

For One, Phishing scams are going to become an absolute nightmare have a look at the 2 urls below:

http://www.apple.com/
http://www.ɑpple.com/

..how about going to góòglë.com?

You can see the the bottom one look very similar, but will be availeable to anyone who wants to buy it. Also affected will be the already slightly awkward issue of China making it extremly easy for the govournment to further isolate their citizens from the rest of the world.
