Abstract

Commercial entities in Taiwan conventionally register beneath .com.tw and other organisations beneath .org.tw, while direct registration under .tw operates on looser terms. The Taiwan Network Information Center administers the extension, delegated in 1989, and approximately 800,000 domains are registered. Some second-level namespaces require a local presence; the direct level is more open. Taiwanese companies, institutions, and media form the registrant base almost entirely.
