UK e-commerce could get a much needed boost as the British government takes steps to give digital signatures the same legal standing as real ones.

The Cabinet Office has asked industry body E-Centre UK, to suggest amendments to current laws stating a document is only legally binding if it has been signed or physically exchanged.

The Government is aiming to have amended at least 50 laws by the end of 2001.

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?
