President of the Government of Galicia and candidate to the reelection Emilio Perez Touriño’s Internet television was presented this week in Santiago de Compostela.
Touriño.tv is the first Internet television whose hosting domain includes the character “ñ”, a distinctive sign of Spanish and Galician. Standard for domain names requires a subset of the ASCII code, and consequently does not allow such characters.
Much work has gone into finding a way to internationalize domain names trying to preserve the stability of the domain name system at the same time. Rather than redesigning the existing DNS infrastructure, it was decided that non-ASCII domain names should be converted to a suitable ASCII-based form by web browsers, mail clients and other user applications, and the Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications initiative (IDNA) specifies how this conversion is to be done. For instance, IDNA-compliant browsers and mail clients will convert touriño into xn--tourio-0wa and vice versa, x--tourio-0wa being used internally by internet protocols and the Domain Name Service.
You can enjoy President Touriño’s TV at domains touriño.tv and tourino.tv in case you have not updated your browser yet.
