Dot VN Inc. Congratulates VNNIC and LANIC on Agreement to Develop and Manage Laotian ccTLD '.LA'
GlobeNewswire
2011-04-07


SAN DIEGO, April 7, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dot VN, Inc.
(www.DotVN.com) (OTC Trading Symbol:DTVI) an Internet and
Telecommunications Company and operator of one of the most popular
Vietnamese web portals INFO.VN ("Dot VN" or the "Company"),
congratulates its partner the Vietnam Internet Network Information
Center ("VNNIC") on the recent agreement to help the Laotian Internet
Network Information Center ("LANIC") reclaim and relaunch Laos' ccTLD
".LA".

On March 23, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hung - Deputy Minister of Information and
Communications of Vietnam and Mr. Padaphet Sayakhot - Deputy of Laos
National Posts and Telecommunications Management Agency signed a
memorandum for Vietnam to support Laos to retrieve and manage the
Laotian country code Top Level Domain ("ccTLD") ".LA". Pursuant to this
agreement, VNNIC will support LANIC in adopting international standard
procedures in accordance with its new role as the registry of the ccTLD
".LA". Implementation by VNNIC and LANIC is expected to begin
immediately and will be completed by 2012. Under the current plan
Vietnam will support LANIC in the management and operation of the ccTLD
".LA" by hosting the registry platform in Hanoi while concurrently
training LANIC staff, with the eventual goal of turning over complete
management of ".LA" to LANIC by 2012.

Previously in August of 2010, Dot VN was a key part of VNNIC's team
which met with the LANIC to discuss the implementation of the Laotian
Internet. The meeting, hosted by LANIC and held in Vientiane, Laos,
covered various topics, including a review of LANIC's technical system
readiness, a draft of an Internet Management Policy for the Laotian
ccTLD ".LA", and a survey of the site and equipment requisite for
hosting the Laotian domain name system by LANIC. Preliminary
discussions on a domain name registration contract were also part of
the meeting. During closed door sessions, Dot VN was an integral
participant in developing the initial draft of the Laotian Internet
Policy along with representatives from VNNIC and LANIC which was
patterned after the Vietnamese Internet Policy.

Dot VN also presented software and hardware solutions uniquely suited
to drive the growth of the Laotian Internet and registry including the
KSregistry System registration platform which will power the soon to be
relaunched Vietnamese native language Internationalized Domain Names
("IDNs"). The LANIC infrastructure is expected to be developed based on
best of breed technologies, including the use of Elliptical Mobile
Solutions' Micro-Modular Data Center(TM) equipment and E-Band
Communication's E-Link 1000EXR millimeter wave radios for which Dot VN
has secured distribution rights in the country of Laos.

"We look forward to continuing to support VNNIC and LANIC in their
efforts to develop a strong and robust Laotian Internet and registry,"
stated Dot VN Chief Executive Officer Thomas Johnson. "We believe our
strengths both as a registrar and technical solutions provider will be
a great asset to this project and are prepared to offer whatever
assistance we can."
