                        .asia
                        sunrise period will end Thursday (Jan.
                        31) with open registration for all comers slated to
                        begin February 20. The sunrise period is for
                        trademark owners to claim names they  |  
                      | feel they are entitled to.
                        In cases where there is more than one TM applicant for a
                        domain, the .asia registry has been auctioning off
                        the rights to those contested domains to the applicant
                        that places the highest bid (the first time this has
                        been done in a new extension sunrise launch). The
                        registry said it received approximately 15,000
                        sunrise applications with 600 domain names
                        receiving multiple applications. An auction for Tyco.asia  | 
 |  
                      | ended at $7,600, one
                        for Parliament.asia is still underway with the
                        high bid at last report being $5,200.  iPhones.asia
                        and Levis.asia are among other names that are
                        going on the block.(Posted
