Product Description
Few people think of an Internet domain name like .us or .in as anything other than an address--when, in fact, it often serves as a roadmap to national identities and priorities. Addressing the World looks behind eleven of the 240 global domain names, from the United States and Australia to Moldova and East Timor. Stories and first-person accounts by activists, journalists, Internet administrators, lawyers, and academics examine the sociological, historical, political, and technological development of Internet country code top-level domains (ccTLDs).

A remarkable study of country code domain names... December 24, 2003

"Addressing The World embarks on a less traveled but more meaningful journey of an in-depth look into country code domain extensions. The authors successfully show a correlation between the domain name and its culture, from both the real world and cyberspace perspectives. Addressing The World is a must read for anyone interested in learning about the origins of domain names and the purpose behind them."
