Punkt.wien GmbH: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:26, 13 November 2012

In May 2012, punkt.wien GmbH has – fully supported by Vienna Government/Administration - applied for .wien at ICANN’s new gTLD program. A rationale offered by proponents of the .wien-proposal is as follows:

The .wien top level domain is designed to serve the needs of the community of the City of Wien (English: Vienna) on the Internet by its own TLD. The local .wien domain names which become available with this TLD are concise and create a unique and individual identity for citizens, companies and institutions. Those providing and looking for information, goods and services in Wien can thus intuitively come together. The .wien domain names strengthen the feeling of community amongst citizens and visitors of Wien, improve communication and make interaction easier, thus providing a stimulus for innovation and development. Both for citizens and for non-citizens the City of Wien becomes more attractive as a place to visit, as a commercial location and as a place to live.
