June 14th 2014 Launch

yeah, I'm just not convinced yet end users/public will give a hoot about .UK - I wish I could feel more positive about it.

It feels like many of us are hoping for the door to be beaten down to our domains on June 10th..

I think drop catching will get interesting, and we'll see fairly soon what wins.

I mean joe blow will goto the 123-STI and see £7 for .co.uk or £14 for both ? do I need .uk and .co.uk ? if I'm taking both why aren't I taking .org.uk and .me.uk, I think fairly soon we'll see the public making the choice.

Drop catching will be interesting, because come June 14th, at 12:04:01am when the first name drops, does the .uk instantly become available, do you send an EPP for the .uk or .co.uk or both ?

Double the pot, I can see resellers (i.e. us) trading to make up pairs so reseller cottage may start production again as it were.

Very interesting point Skinner - especially with free transfers!

Already have that dilemma! As a business owner with a trademark company name, I had to buy the .org.uk to further protect myself, didn't bother with the .me.uk though. Also bought up loads of main extensions too, .net .org .info .biz etc but now wish I hadn't of bothered as they are largely irrelevant.

The .net and .org are worth keeping.

The .net and .org are worth keeping.

I can understand the .net (and have .com already) but why .org?
