One of their marketing strategy for .asia domains is to show people how much the previous domains were sold for. According to their Pioneer .asia domain campaign, they have mentioned about the famous domain names $ value, like creditcards.com was sold for $2.75 million in 2004.
But hey, they made it little difficult for people like us to register the domain name in their pioneer program. In their pioneer program (community pioneer), they want you to submit
- Your Business and Marketing Plan describing the concept and proposed scheme for the .Asia domain
- Outline your Operations and Financial Support
- Community and Social Consideration
And on top of all these documents, you have to deposit a commitment of US$ 10,000 to the marketing of .Asia domain.
I can imagine Reliance and other giants might register their .asia domains soon.
Oh and by the way, if you want to know who you can register the .Asia domain to, here is the list of names. Few of them that I recognize are
- eNom, Inc. [ http://www.enom.com ]
- Web Werks India Pvt. Ltd. [ http://www.dfordomains.com ]
- 007Names, Inc. [ http://www.007names.com ]
Check out the list for more details.
