First person story about .nu (Score 1)

Hi all:

Those who are interested in learning about the history and development of .nu in a first-person story by Rich StClair, the man who built the network, should pick up a book I edited called "Addressing the World: National Identity and Internet Country Code Domains" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2003)

The book looks at the history and development of several codes, including the interplay between Sweden's .se and Niue's .nu. (as well as the US's .us, China's .cn, Chile's .cl, India's .in, Malaysia's .my, Moldova's .md, East Timor's .tp, Australia's .au and Swaziland's .sz)

I recognize there is dispute among certain groups about the commercial interests in the .nu domain, but I found it really interesting working with StClair on his chapter and I think that his vision to use the code as a public service is both credible and consistent thoughout.

For those who are interested, the book's companion website is http://www.addressingtheworld.info
