.eu domains opens to all

[El Dude]

Citizens of the European Union can now buy an internet domain bearing the .eu suffix.
The public are getting the chance to buy .eu domains following a four-month period that let firms reserve domains to match their trademarks.

More than 300,000 organisations used the so-called sunrise period to apply for a .eu domain.

I would of liked to of registered sex.eu but BBC News said that "there are more than 280 applications to control the www.sex.eu domain, 220 of which were filed on the same day."

How popular do you think a .eu is going to be? I think it is an important suffix, but do you think they will be second to .com or do you think it will be a craze that will die out quickly?

hahaha, it will not die out quickly my friend. millions of speculators money invested will make sure that the flames will burn for a long time to come.

it will be second strongest tld of all times, and in some domain cases and companies plans even more desirable than .com (geostrategic targeting).

that said, because there are tens of thousands of bozos outthere busy registering shitty names as we speak, a lot of domains will be worth regfee or less. but, almost anything that is valuable in .com will be also valuable in .eu
