The UAE Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) on Wednesday officially launched one of the first non-English top-level domain names in the Arab world, .emarat, in Abu Dhabi. in the presence of its director general Mohamed Naser Al Ghanim.
Ushering in a new era of Arab internet identity across the UAE and beyond, the alternative domain name was approved last month by the Washington-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
The domain name's launch took place in the presence of TRA's Director General Mohamed Naser Al Ghanim.
Speaking at the launch event at the Emirates Palace, ICANN's CEO and President Rod Beckstrom said the UAE is one of the first four countries in the history of the internet to secure an internationalised top level domain name, allowing people whose primary language script is Arabic to access websites entirely with Arabic characters.
"Dot emarat will bring multiple benefits. It will help to foster innovation and creativity, and provide better branding opportunities for local companies. It will increase convenience and consumer choice, and generate educational opportunities. It will open up access to the internet to more Arabic speakers, who until now have been blocked by the need to use Latin script (and)... it will also help stimulate the pride that comes with expressing a nation’s cultural identity," Beckstrom said.

Isn't it a tad long? It's like having .australia
It's too great and also interesting and amazing news because many of country are already launched their own domain names only sort form such a .uk, .au, .np, .in, .cn and many others even, few little has only registered as it (country name). In the whole world many of the country only use as sort form which I have already described at first. Domain name is the main sign of country in the website. In these days whole world is synchronizing by the internet so it could be the new way to introduce owns self in the mass of internet connections. Business, Entertainment, hosted call center website e.t.c are also going for the country level domain these days for the local marketing of the business.
I want to add that the United Arab Emirates will stop individuals and small businesses accessing the most private data services offered by BlackBerry, a UAE newspaper said, but the government said no services would be disrupted to any subscribers.
Only businesses with 20 or more subscriptions will be allowed to use high security accounts on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which allows for services such as highly secure corporate email. I found it in on of free essays .
The move comes months after the UAE dropped a threat to suspend BlackBerry services after resolving a dispute over access with Canada‘s Research In Motion.
It also coincides with efforts by Arab states to stem rolling pro-democracy revolts, largely organized on social media, that have hit all but two Gulf states, the UAE and Qatar.
Citing a ruling by the UAE’s telecoms regulator, The National said that small businesses would still be able to use the BlackBerry Internet Service, which does not rely on private servers, as well as encrypted messaging.
