Colombia will be accepting bids for .CO on June 23rd.

Rick Latona comments on his blog that on June 23rd. Colombia will be accepting bids to manage the .co extension. His source tells him that “Verisign, Straat Investments, Affilias, Argus and Technology Services (GTS), among others, have all expressed interest in and will most likely place bids to be the administrator of the extension.”

Rick Latona points out “finally real competition to .com”. “After all, .com means (commercial) where .co traditionally means Company. In many ways .co makes more sense than .com for a company´s domain name”.
