High street department store John Lewis is expected to announce Monday that it has purchased the UK operations of buy.com.

According to reports, a deal was finalised at the weekend after the troubled dot-com announced that its British arm was up for sale. The deal would help John Lewis to expand its Internet operations, which includes johnlewis.co.uk and waitrose.com.

Buy.com reported a loss of £18.6m in the fourth quarter of 2000, and closed its Australian operations in late 2000.

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?
