[Arpit131]

.NYC celebrated its one year anniversary yesterday by releasing over 16,000 domain names which were previously unavailable due to being placed on the ICANN collision list.

We ran the list through a whois program earlier today and according to the results somewhere around 650 of these domain names got registered.

No surprise.

For starters you must be a NYC resident to own one. Secondly, there were about 100 "good" ones and they were all pre-registered on the first day of the announcement.
