Welsh Wide Web
Carmarthenshire politicians have backed a campaign supporting the use of a welsh web domain .cym. The dot.cym campaign would allow Welsh websites to use '.cym' rather than '.com', '.co.uk', '.net' and others. Adam Price MP and Rhodri Glyn Thomas AM have backed this campaign to ensure a development of the welsh language and culture on the world wide web.
Mr Thomas said:
"I have backed this motion as I believe it provides an opportunity to increase the visibility of the Welsh language and Welsh culture on the World Wide Web. The internet is a huge resource for learning, development, business and leisure and the addition of a Welsh language domain aids the promotion of our culture."
Mr Price added:
"It is important that the language and culture of Wales is seen in all aspects of life and this campaign will give an opportunity for that to happen on the World Wide Web. There are a number of facilities such as businesses and charities in Carmarthenshire whose websites could be aided from an individuality associated with a unique Welsh domain."
