New Internationalized domain names are coming [Telecom]

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has announced more progress toward the issuance of Internationalized country-code Top Level Domain names (IDN ccTLDs).

The new internationalized domain names will allow domain names to be written and displayed with something _other_ than the Latin alphabet that has been required up until now. In other words, Russians will get domain names written with Cyrillic characters, Saudis with Arabic, etc.

Details are at

I'm curious what others think about how, or if, this will affect telecom. The first question that comes to mind is to ask if every Internet DNS daemon will have to be upgraded.
