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”.

NIC ARGENTINA LIMITS TO 200 THE .AR REGISTRATION
Because of abuses on the registration of domains in Argentina where some entities (Entidad Registrante) have thousands of domains, it has been establish a limit on the number of domains allowed per entity (Entidad Registrante) to 200 domains under the extensions “.com.ar” or “.org.ar”.
The basis for this decision are the following:
- Article 1.071 from the Argentinean Civil Code, which establishes “… The law does not protect the abusive exercise of the rights. This considers those who exceed the limits impose by the good faith, moral and good behavior”.
- The increasing Internet community, pretending to access domains which are adequate to their necessities are found to be limited by a natural person or company who register domains merely by speculative reasons.
- 25% of the total of domains registered have been requested by a 0.17% of the entities registered in NIC Argentina.
Entities with more than 200 domains.
From the publication of this present Resolution on the Official Bulletin, the entities (Entidad Registrante) with more than TWO HUNDRED (200) registered domains:
Will not be able to register new domains.
Will not be able to receive transfers from third parties.
Will be able to renew up to TWO HUNDRED (200) of the registered domains.
This limitation is applicable to the pending requests, which will be deleted insofar as the requests made by the entities (Entidad Registrante) which already have registered TWO HUNDRED (200) or more domains.
Extension of the Limit:
In case an entity (Entidad Registrante) needs to register more than the limit TWO HUNDRED (200) domain names, must send a letter to NIC Argentina for each new domain, where it should base the necessity of the additional domain over the establish limit and declaring the legitimate interest, goods and services with that name, or if it is known publicly under that name.
Those domains given over the limit of the TWO HUNDRED (200) domains (exceptions) will not be able to be transferred to a third party.
