Greetings:
With the recent acquisition of
the rfcafe.eu domain name, RF Cafe is now officially
an international entity! This is so because in order
for me to own a .eu domain name, I have to have
a business representative in a European Union country.
That is provided by the registrar, Network Solutions.
Like so many other things, there are ways around
just about every requirement set forth by rule makers.
It is kind of like in the U.S. you can establish
a corporation in a state other than where you actually
reside (e.g., a Delaware or Arizona corporation)
as long as you have a formal business partnership
in those other states.
I know from watching
website statistics that about 20% of visitors to
RF Cafe originate from outside of the United States.
Most of those come from EU countries, Japan, Korea,
India, and Canada. When scanning the Web for daily
headline articles and other items of interest, I
bear in mind my international audience and try to
provide a mix of topics that reflects everyone's
needs. Most articles of interest to RF Cafe visitors
are by the very nature of today's marketplace international,
so finding relevant information is not difficult
– just time-consuming.
For now, RFCafe.eu
is sitting idle, as is RFCafe.co.uk. I am open to
ideas for what to do with the domains, other than
merely creating mirror site of the existing RFCafe.com
– although that is an option. Thanks.
