Egypt is set to launch the world's first Arabic language internet domain. Communications minister Tarek Kamel said the new domain name would be ".masr" written in the Arabic alphabet. It translates as ".Egypt". Mr Kamel, who was speaking at the start of the Internet Governance Forum being held in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, said a formal announcement would be made later today. He said the new domain would offer new avenues for innovation, investment and growth in the Arabic-speaking world. Last month, internet regulator Icann voted to allow non-Latin web addresses. Domain names can now be written in Arabic, Chinese and other scripts.<br/>
