Foreign Language Domain Names Launch

check this out:

The Arab street is now officially on the internet superhighway. As of Friday, domain names can be registered in Arabic language script– to date they’ve been written out in English language translation or transliteration. Local newspapers have heralded the new Arabic language websites as a "milestone in internet history," one that had long been advocated by the Arab League, then pushed forward by the governments of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

We should register something like فيسبوك. لبنان   and get all the Country's people's Views ;)
I'm sure someone is registering Spam Domains for Arabic viewers as we speak^^

You can't register a .لبنان, the only IDNs available for the moment are for Egypt, UAE and KSA.
