We don't trust the Net - survey

Richard Barry ZDNet.co.uk

Published: 12 Nov 1998 16:57 GMT

Which? Online's survey revealed that half of those surveyed believe fraud is a major issue on the Internet. Two thirds believe the Net is used by fanatics to promote their racist or extreme religious views.

On a more positive note, 62 percent of those surveyed think shopping on the Net is as safe as using a mail order catalogue and over a quarter had actually bought goods over the Internet.

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?
