.IN Domains available to public February 16

Quote:
Dayanidhi Maran presents .IN domain certificates to top industrialists
Indian identity on the internet space has received a major thrust with the extension of the .IN domain name Registry services by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI). In a ceremony held here today to mark the extension of the .IN country code internet domain name Registry, the Hon’ble Union Minister for Communication and Information Technology, Thiru Dayanidhi Maran presented certificates of .IN registration to leading names from the Indian industry and media. Recipients included Mr. Ratan Tata, (Tata Group), Mr. N. Ram, (The Hindu), Mr. Sunil Mittal (Airtel), Mr. Aroon Purie (India Today Group), Mr. K. M. Mammen (MRF), Mr. Prannoy Roy (NDTV), Mr. Vineet Jain (Times Group), Mr. Vijay Mallya (UB Group), Mr. Gopal Srinivasan (TVS), Mr. Ajai Chaudhary (HCL), Mr. Deepak Puri ( Moser Baer) and others.

.IN is the official Internet domain of India. Once available to only a small group, .IN domain names will now be available online to everyone who wants one. The new era for .IN begins with an initial Sunrise period. Owners of registered Indian trademarks or service marks who wish to protect their marks will be given the opportunity to apply for .IN domain names before the general public. Sunrise applications are being accepted from January 1 to January 21, 2005. The date for the opening of real-time, open registration for the general public is planned for February 16, 2005.

HindustanTimes is one of the select few that joined India Inc. to get a .IN domain. Anyone here up for a .IN domain?

COUNTME.IN! Hehe.. actually, these might take off, provided the reg fee is relatively low.. India is another populous country with a high tech advantage... alot of poverty but also alot of potential growth.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/industry-news/63892-in-domains-available-public-february-16-a.html

EDIT: at current exchange rates, I get reg fees of between $5.70 (250 Rs) and $9.12 (400 Rs) for these.. who's regging them?

EDIT, AGAIN: http://inregistry.in/, http://www.goodluckdomain.com/index.php

And seems like those "some very good names" are in high demand and would be gone in 5 seconds they are open for registration
