Vint Cerf Says Internet Could Break Permanently



Domaining News

IDNs have helped internationalize the Internet but many believe that it is not enough and they don’t want to be forced to use Latin alphabet, as many feel it is holding them and their people back. For this reason Vint Cerf, chairman of ICANN and Google’s VP, is attempting to put together a solution and accommodate the world with a multi-lingual Internet before further separation happens similar to China going off and creating their own DNS.

Vint wants to satisfy the world’s needs but also believes it is going to be a tremendous technical challenge without interfering with the current domain names and domain name system. Cerf said, "A miss-step could easily and permanently break the Internet into non-interoperable components."

At this time, ICANN is currently testing the introduction of the new scripts into the domain name system. At any moment the Internet could suddenly be broken permanently.
