台北.com Taipei.com Sold!!!

NEW YORK (APA) -- One more sign the technology sector is rebounding, at least in Asia: A Chinese internet domain name has been sold for seven figures, in the first public deal of this kind.

Last week, Roberto Javago sold the Chinese domain consisting of the registered Chinese characters for 'Taipei', for a cool $1 million, a healthy profit over the $12 registration fee he paid for it in 2003.

The buyers, Taiwanese construction industry officials who have opted to remain anonymous behind the acquiring company, Taiwan Com Ltd., want to create a portal for the Asian capital.

"In the last couple of weeks, international domain names were selling for significantly less than what they did in '06," said Monte Cahn, chief executive of Moniker Online Services, which initially wanted to broker the sale, but ended up withdrawing when anonymous dealers, reportedly backed by the white shoe domain auction house thedroit.com stepped in.

He said the seven-figure price tag for Taipei "is a big indicator of what's yet to come for international domain names, a development Moniker has been proud to support since its inception in 1984."

The seller, Roberto Javago, believes he could have gotten much more for 'Taipei.com' by waiting longer.

But a spokesman for the small group of active international domainers, who number less than a dozen, but own more than 500,000 other such names in all the languages of the world, said that Javago was right to want the money now -- so that he can buy even more domains before prices really skyrocket.
