.berlin ist heute auf der Startseite des Newsletters der Weltmarkenrechtsorganisation INTA:
„Berlin could benefit from proposals to introduce more gTLDs, as a German company is planning to apply to launch .berlin once ICANN approves the new gTLD process. The company, formed in 2005 by entrepreneur Dirk Krischenowski, is seeking corporate backing to be one of the first new gTLDs. Markus Bahmann of avocado rechtsanwälte, who is on the Board of .berlin and advises the company on legal issues, said it is now writing a sunrise policy: “We don’t want to be pirates.” He added that TLDs such as .berlin are likely to become more popular: “Regionalization of the Internet is going to be the future.” Other city-based TLDs that have been proposed include .hamburg, .paris and .nyc.”
