Battle over .ua will continue

[Chris Chiu]

Hostmaster Ltd is planning to appeal after a court dismissed its lawsuit to prevent the government of Ukraine from taking control of the country's top-level domain. These and other moves by Ukranian authorities have provoked concern from various groups, including Reporters Sans Frontieres, which fears that the Ukrainian government's "bid to take over management of the national domain name '.ua', currently in the hands of the private firm Hostmaster, and its proposal that parliament legalise e-mail monitoring, will allow it to effectively gag online activity."
