Area for Moscow

Not so long ago there was a post that the rippled zone . began to deflate . Apparently the registrars did not like it very much and they decided to inflate a new bubble to create several more zones for the benefit of the Russian Internet users.

The Foundation for Assistance to Cutting the Development of Internet Technologies and Infrastructure has submitted to ICAAN applications for the allocation of the .MOSCOW and. domains to Russia. Already paid 2 installments of 185 thousand dollars for the consideration of applications.

Naturally everything is planned according to the scheme, as with the zone. RF. Those. priority registration, then premium, well, and then everyone in a row at 600 rubles per year. It only remains for RU-CENTER to tune its bots to take care of the auction and get ready for new purchases.

Who is interested here is the official press release , as well as the news on Lenta.ru .

As for me, if there is at least a small sense in the .moscow zone (although it’s also doubtful if many people are already in contact, go through Google), and it’s more fashionable, since such zones want to register London, Paris, Berlin, New York and other major cities.
That Cyrillic. Moscow, IMHO, only to collect the dough by the registrars.

Another .VOLGA zone is planning - “uniting the geographical territories of the Volga region, covering the territories in the middle and lower reaches of the great Russian river Volga” (without pathos in this matter, of course, nowhere).

And I liked it even more:

In the future, the .VOLGA domain should become an additional incentive for the development of business and Internet technologies in the region.

So, it turns out that the business is not enough ...
