    Well worth it. Especially if you are lucky enough to nab the name you want for the website you want to build. I see it having amazing sustainable growth long term so I think that it may just be like dot com. A while to take off and then eventually next to impossible to get into without a massive budget.

    I see this as a massive opportunity, especially in light of the stratopsheric prices for .com names now. It seems that .asia may have an advantage over .eu as well due to both demographics and geographical clarity. Watching where auction prices are going now for .asia verifies the demand.
