The new TLD is likely to be on many corporate wishlists. While
the '.asia' TLD is already in use, it has a regional feel, while '.net' does not have the same ring. “The launch of .GLOBAL today is an exciting
opportunity for Asian businesses to finally get the perfect
international business domain name that has been unavailable to them
with .com,”
said Rolf Larsen, CEO at .GLOBAL.
“Companies in Asia had
previously found themselves at a disadvantage as their rivals in Europe
and America acquired the best domain names early, forcing them to pay
extortionate prices on the second hand domain market.
.GLOBAL is here to re-open naming opportunities for Asian businesses
who want to become global and spur innovation across the internet.”
According to the company, the .global domain is a borderless strategy which offers presents businesses with an unrivalled
opportunity to establish a global online identity, which in turn can
re-define or enhance their business model.
Domain registrars worldwide will offer the choice
of .global domains. Trademark holders can register their names for .global on July 9, 2014 while .global names will be open for public registration on September 12, 2014. Premium
names for a select group of high-value generics and business terms will be priced separately and released via
an auction system provider.
