discuss .web domain release date and thoughts

DomainCairn · May 26, 2016

Anyone know when .Web extension is going to be released for general availability, after the Sunrise phase (TM holders)? I heard it might be sometime this summer by one source and I also heard not until November/December by another source.

I read this might be a solid extension to invest in when it does become available to the general public. With all the new extensions slated for a 2016 release date, do you think this might be the more popular/valuable out of the bunch?

What are your thoughts and opinions for the future of .web?

Altanova was the runner-up in the auction for .web and has been fighting the auction result ever since.

Altanova is essentially what’s left of Afilias after selling most of its business to Identity Digital (formerly Donuts). Afilias’s web application was not part of the transaction. (Identity Digital also applied for .web and unsuccessfully sued after the auction.)...
