I agree with GTP Dave, buying for development and speculating are two different things.

I posted a little about .ASIA elsewhere StoneHammer.

There are qualifications for ownership.
Check the gray "Overview" & "Requirements" tabs on the bottom half of the page.

You might want to check the refund policy during this phase wherever you go StoneHammer. Some do, some don't, some are immediate monetary refunds, some are account credits, some are simply 'tuff sh*t!'.

It's the 'tuff sh*t' places to avoid.

Full refund on reg fees StoneHammer. You'll know the exact outcome shortly after the 12th.

Backorders are the only option between the 12th and 26th.
Then on the 26th Registration opens on a first-come-first-served basis for qualified (at least one contact in the Asia-Pacific region) individuals.

Good Luck!

Sorry StoneHammer, I didn't tell you where the .ASIA refund policy is located.

1) Go here.
2) Scroll to the bottom and click the "Legal Agreements" text link.
3) In the lower left column click the "Domain Registration Agreement" text link.
4) Look for Item #46 "PROVISIONS SPECIFIC TO .ASIA REGISTRANTS"

I just wanted to show you the step-by-step location for any future use of the legal docs.
Here's a direct link

The refunds are a direct cash refund. NOT a credit within your account.

I would buy them now, before the 12th, or wait until after the 26th.
Between the 12th and 26th any .ASIA purchase would be a "backorder". Why avoid the 12-26th period? Because refunded backorders are entered as an acct credit, you don't receive a direct cash refund.
