One in four publicly-traded UK Internet companies will run out of cash in the next six months, according to new research due Wednesday.

The report, from consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), found that at their current rate of spending 25 out of 28 Internet firms will run out of cash in 15 months, due to high marketing and expansion costs.

Similar revelations in the US led to a widespread selloff of shares; companies such as Peapod and CDNow were hit by serious financial constraints.

Full story to follow.

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?
