ICANN, the internet regulator, has approved plans to allow internet addresses to be written in a non-Latin alphabet, claiming it’s the biggest change to the internet in its 40 year history.

This global ad campaign is now in full swing with billboards in place all over the country (and probably the world) as well as banner, skyscraper and video ads on the Web and TV commercials across major channels.
So it’s time to take a critic look and gauge whether this new campaign is going to hit the mark.
