Any big players in Asia that buy/sell/horde asian domains like in USA?
Isn't anyone in Msia creating a google adsense like company to suit just asian advertisers?

1. Chris, by the time you start hearing about big sales of Asia ccTLD names and .asia names, most of the good names will have to be taken.... (remember .com/net/org/us/mobi/tv??)
Personally, I'd say we haven't seen the true potential of Internet and m-commerce in Asia. (only 10% are wired at the moment, compared to 60-80% in US/Europe)
2. Asia big players. None that I've heard of. but google's move for g.cn will wake other world players up. y.cn, y.in and y.my perhaps?
3. Google already is tackling Msian-market very well. I estimated that Google is already making tens of millions of dollars from the tiny Malaysian market alone. Google is very upbeat in Asia (unlike the slow learning Yahoo, MSN etc). Microsoft has a decently strong foothold in Malaysia though.
There are at least two Msia-based online-centric advertising network as of this year (more similar to DoubleClick than Adsense though).
