The Register

] The war against Iraq may be drawing to a close but the
] war over its Internet future is just beginning.
]
] As with the overthrow of the Afghanistan regime by US
] forces, it is widely thought that the removal of Saddam
] Hussein from power will see the Middle Eastern country
] catch up with the rest of the world in terms of Internet
] infrastructure and use.
]
] Currently, there is limited, expensive and
] state-controlled Internet use in Iraq, beamed via
] satellite since sanctions on the country have made it
] unable to install pipes and networks. In the north of the
] country, the Kurds have set up their own system free from
] Baghdad control by riding on the back of satellite feeds
] for Turkey. It too, however, remains very costly.
]
] But any Internet construction in Iraq will inevitably
] take place through its assigned country-code top-level
] domain - .iq.

I want the domain, high.iq :)
