Sandbox

We are partnering with nTLDStats to provide a robust and comprehensive resource on New gTLDs.

By integrating their statistics into our site, we are creating a resource that will make the domain name industry more accessible and demystify the world of New gTLDs.

The userbox (pictured left) now features statistics such as registrations and parked domains, as well as important dates relating to each TLD.

International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is a leading agency of the United Nations, handling information and communication technology issues. It is also the most important agency for private sectors and governments all across the world in developing networks and services. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the ITU is dedicated to connecting the entire world through the various means of communications.

The ITU celebrates its 150th Anniversary this week. It was founded in 1865 in Paris as the International Telegraph Union. It took up its current name in 1934, and officially became a part of the United Nations (UN) in 1947. It is one of the oldest international organizations in the UN. Since its establishment, the ITU has facilitated the information and communications industry in many ways, from the invention of the electric telegraph in 1837, to organizing worldwide and regional exhibitions and forums, to bringing together government representatives from all around the world to share their knowledge, ideas and technology for the benefit of the global community, especially the developing world.
