For the very first Arabic domain name, Egypt is to apply

For the first ever Internet domain name that has been written in Arabic, Egypt will be applying. The information technology minister of Egypt had made mention of such claims at a conference, grouping Yahoo's co founder, as well as others to discuss in emerging nations, boosting online access.

On Monday, Tarek Kamel said that Egypt would indeed apply for the new domain, which is to be pronounced as ".masr" but written in Arabic. This would then mark the very first Arab nation to apply for a domain that is of a non Latin character.
