ICANN will take the .cat suffix into account next December
VilaWeb has found out that ICANN, the Internet organisation responsible for domain suffixes in the Network, will, most probably, take .cat suffix into account next December at Cape Town. Today, October 29, has been known that .travel and. board suffixes have passed admission to next stage, but this does not mean that the 8 suffixes admitted in March are now discarded. In fact, ICANN has asked for further documentation about .cat, before it may pass to next stage. Yet, before the suffix is definitely approved, it must get through a few more stages, so that the end of the process should not be expected before Spring next year. The .cat suffix, devised to stand for the Catalan language community in the Network, is being promoted by Associació puntCAT, backed by 2.400 Catalan organisations and companies.

If you didn’t believe Charlie Ergen when he said he’d find a way to
fit Blockbuster Inc. into his Dish Network Corp. empire, go order some
Dish satellite service for yourself.
Did you do it?Okay, now spend the next three months in complete bliss as
your mailbox starts filling up with little DVD envelopes that don’t say
“Netflix” on them, and more importantly, that you DON’T have to pay
for.
Dish said Thursday that now through August 10, any new satellite customer gets dvd box sets wholesale
three free months of Blockbuster’s DVD mailing service as long as that
customer orders something called “qualifying” programming AND actually
activates the service.When Dish bought Blockbuster for $320.6 million
last month in a cheap box sets
bankruptcy-court auction, it cited the “cross-marketing” opportunities
between the two companies as a big reason. While Ergen and his satellite
empire haven’t yet decided what to do with more than 1,000 Blockbuster
stores that remain open, it’s clear that Dish wants to get the word out
that Blockbuster’s not all bricks and mortar.
Blockbuster has had its DVD mailing service since 2006, but by that
time, the word “Netflix” had already become a brandnomer along the lines
of “Kleenex,” which many shareholders started reaching for as
Blockbuster’s earnings dvd boxsets
declined and Netflix’s soared, leading to Blockbuster’s Chapter 11
filing last September. Blockbuster has for years been touting both its
mail service and digital business, but people tend to have short
attention spans and only remember that Netflix was dvd box set
first.One thing Blockbuster does have over Netflix is that many new
titles are available to Blockbuster customers 28 days before they come
to Netflix. Dish was quick to point that out in Thursday’s announcement.
