The .BIZ registry contacted Domaines.Info last week to tell us that on January 16, IDNs will be available in the following six languages: Finnish, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese.
These IDNs will launch at 13:00 GMT on January 16. Just like standard .BIZ names, these IDNs can be registered from 1 to 10 years. They will be useable immediately and available on a "first come, first served" basis only, i.e. no Sunrise period.
Use of these IDNs will be through an IDN-enabled browser. A plug-in can be downloaded for those who do not have browsers that can handle IDNs.
