portal," said Dot VN CEO Thomas Johnson. "'Info.VN' is the first of its
kind in scope and functionality. We envision it as a central resource
that people of Vietnam can use on a daily basis. Our overall goal is to
revolutionize the way people access content and navigate the Vietnamese
internet so that they can find everything they are looking for."
Dot VN intends to use Info.VN as a platform to offer a variety of
services to users both domestically in Vietnam and worldwide. Long term
plans for the Info.VN portal include:

-- An Online Directory of Vietnamese Businesses and Services;
-- Free E-mail Service;
-- Job Placement Services;
-- A Press Release and Financial Reporting Network;
-- Classifieds; and
-- E-Commerce and Online Auctions.
"Our goal is to create a consolidated portal that aggregates many
online services that are currently scattered into one easy to use
resource," said Johnson. "The beta launch of 'Info.VN' offers a basic
understanding of the site, which will be increasing in functionality
and services offered in the near term as we continue to develop it.
