The Internet is about to get more accessible for millions worldwide with the imminent approval of a new multilingual address system that uses Asian and Arabic scripts, a global regulator said on Monday. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) said it would declare an end to the exclusive uses of Latin characters for website addresses on Friday the final day of its sixday conference in Seoul. “This is the biggest change technically to the Internet since it was invented 40 years ago,” Peter Dengate Thrush, Chairman of the ICANN board in charge of reviewing the change told a press conference

The ICANN board has plans to abolish exclusive use of latin characters in the addresses and introduce both Arabic and Asian scripts to make Internet more broad-based.
Multilingual internet addresses with Chinese, Arabic, Korean and Japanese characters would soon be a reality as the ICANN board has approved this move.
