No can't reach it. Is .news a new type that hasn't been properly integrated yet?

Or is it something to do with the BBC's RSS syndication?

I can't find any mention of a .news extension on the net. So that's a no.

I thought this was interesting:
Quote:
Q: Isn't the ICANN adding new domains?
A: Yes. But they are trying to force all TLD registration authority to
operate under one business model (shared), one jurisdiction (US), and
one set of registration policies for customers. We believe this is not
in the customer's best interest.


I don't know if you noticed but there is now a news.google.co.uk serving UK news rather than US orientated stuff. There's a few other localisations too. Its nice not to have to be so US concentric all the time.

can you access news.google.co.uk ?
or http://www.newsisfree.com/

JDS maybe you should make a bigger article about this as I'm certain a lot of people don't know about it.

Maybe someone else could figure it out... I decided against messing about with my DNS settings while I am developing my latest website, which I am into right now.
