European Internet access provider Easynet today announced it is in merger discussions with UK Online.

In a prepared statement to the London Stock Exchange, the company said it is: "in discussions with... UK Online. The talks concern the possibility of co-operation or merger or acquisition in light of current consolidation in the Internet industry."

Easynet last month said it had grown its dial-up subscription base to 7,500 and had revenues of nearly £627,000 for the first six months of 1996. The company floated in March 1996 and acquired Brighton-based Pavilion Internet in July.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
