Domain names with French characters to be allowed in Canada

It seems like the internet will become more friendly to francophones. The Canadian Press reports domain names ending in .ca might allow French letters with accents.

A consultation by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority went into its final step last week. They say this change is part of a global movement. Other alphabets have already been approved.

French letters with accents might be approved in nine to eighteen months. France already finished its consultation and will allow letters with accents soon.
