India, Makkal Kural, 8 February 2000 -- Computer operations were in Tamil. Then came the pager in Tamil. Now a technique has come to use Internet in Tamil. From today, those who do not know English can also find it easier to access and participate on the Internet. One need not memorize the long English names by heart but can type the names in Tamil.

" i-DNS.net International is the company behind this technology, having spent 2 years of intense research and development under the auspices of the Asia Pacific Networking Group," said Mr.D.Subramaniam, Director, Business Development of this company. The research was successfully co-developed in both Silicon Valley and Singapore.

"To introduce this technique, three companies viz. Makkal Solutions 2000, Softview Computers and Tamil.com, all based at Chennai, have been officially appointed as Registrar Partners of i-DNS.net." said Prof S. Subbiah, Vice President, i-DNS.net International.

To get the Internet site www.yahoo.com it is enough if you type in Tamil and one will be taken to that site.

The introduction of this technique in Tamil facilitates e-commerce and other business opportunities through the Internet, hence making a possible revolution to the economy of the country.

68% of the world's population do not know use English and this barrier has effectively hindered their access and participation to the Internet. i-DNS.net looks well positioned to change all that with its key enabling technology.
