Netpia's venture proved
to be brilliant, and widely successful in Korea. As of January 2005,
almost 3 million Korean Language Internet Addresses have been registered
and used. This success encouraged Netpia to expand operations by
applying the same mechanism and infrastructure to other non-English
languages; so the company did a lot of research and testing, until
the NLIA (Native Language
Internet Address) was officially born. To date, the NLIA has tested
95 languages worldwide. The NLIA has become a robust, stable, and
reliable business solution that has significantly improved the operations
of ISPs (Internet Service
Providers) and other corporations not just in Korea, but in Indonesia,
Japan, Turkey, Mongolia...

|
| Stability |
|
| The NLIA system was designed
to be simple and straightforward to ensure the stability
and prompt reply of the name server. The result is a swift
and smooth process that enables the name server to recognize
whether the Internet Address is in the existing hierarchical
English domain, or in the NLIA. |

|
|
|
| Multi-language support |
|
| The system is based on Unicode,
which means that it can support any language in the world.
By simplifying user queries to Unicode based UTF-8, the
system is able to read all queries. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Uniqueness |
|
| The system is designed to give
a unique single result value to any one NLIA query from
a client. Without the NLIA, the query may receive a search
page instead, and this will only be cumbersome for the
user. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Independence |
|
| The NLIA system is running
on the upper layer of the DNS, which means that it will
not interfere with the existing DNS-based user environments.
NLIA is hassle-free and easy to run in any settings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Compatibility |
|
| Since the NLIA system supports
the existing Internet applications and sticks to the protocol,
anyone can use the NLIA without any addition to, or modification
of, the current system. As a result, the NLIA is compatible
with any user's settings. In encoding languages, the system
supports local code sets of all languages, and encodes
NLIA into UTF-8. |
