"Sex" and "bank", among the first domain in Cyrillic

Among the first domains under the Code. "Rf" in Cyrillic, whose applications have priority for government agencies and major trademarks in Russia, appear surprisingly names like "sex.rf", "znakomstva.rf (contactos.rf) or "bank.rf" published the newspaper "Vedomosti".

On Wednesday it opened the application period in the new domain names for organisms and trademarks will close on 25 March.

Then, between April and June, will be the turn of other organizations and private companies, and from 10 July may apply for other legal and natural persons.

The purpose of this order to the application of the new code names in Cyrillic (. "Rf" by Rossiiskaya Federatsia or Russian Federation) is to prevent "cybersquatters" buy the rights of certain domains in high demand on the network or relevant for companies and public figures and then resale.

But there who knows bypass these limitations.

Thus, in the first day of applications, a single company, the Center for Effective Technology and Information Systems (Ctesias) acquired the domains "bank.rf", "nedvizhimost.rf" ( "inmuebles.rf"), "Ipoteka. rf "" sex.rf "," znakomstva.rf "," kino.rf "," striptis, rf "," dosug.rf "(" ocio.rf ")," parket.rf "and others.

This company, which is dedicated to the development of Internet projects, a member of "Reg.ru" one of the domain registration companies.

The general director of "Reg.ru" Alexei Nikolayevich Koroliuk, said his company registered these domains for Ctesias, he needed them for their clients.

According to the Single State Register of Legal Persons, Koroliuk owns 42 percent of the shares of "Reg.ru" while another Koroliuk, Nikolai Ivanovich, has 100 percent of the shares of Ctesias.

However, Alexei Koroliuk called it coincidence, and denied any relationship between the companies.

He added that "Reg.ru" checked before granting Ctesias domains that really counts with trademarks that correspond to the names requested.

Thus, the word "sex" is registered with the State Patent Office Rospatent under the label "women's bags, suitcases, etc.". and "kino" appears under "water heaters, lamps, lanterns, etc."..

According to Andrei Vorobyov, a spokesman for record company Ru-Center, Ctesias found a very clever way of bypassing the legal and law as it prepared well in advance any documentation sent to the patent office and in the spring.

Thus, the domains could purchase Ctesias to 1,200 rubles (28 euros) and not the cost price once applications are opened to all natural and legal persons, estimated for the first day in about 10 billion rubles (about 230,000 euros).

Russia, where more than thirty million Internet users browse at least once a week (nearly a quarter of the population), until now the domain used in the Latin alphabet (. Ru).

ICANN (the private organization regulating Internet domain names) decided last October 30 at their annual summit in Seoul, the internationalization of the use of different characters in web addresses in alphabets such as Cyrillic, Hebrew, Korean, Hindi, Arabic and, of course, Chinese.

The aim of this decision, which comes into force in mid-2010, is to make the network more accessible to the 800 million Internet-half the total-who speak languages with alphabets
