.NYC Gets Big Boost from New York City Gov’t » Names@Work

My brother makes big news today - his effort to create a top-level domain for New York City - .nyc - is starting to bear fruit.

New York City will soon have its own place on the web – with dot NYC. Mark Twain famously advised “Buy land, they’re not making it anymore.” Well now we can make more New York addresses – just on the internet! A local business won’t have to outbid a guy in Kansas to get Tony’s Pizza dot com. They’ll be able to get Tony’s Pizza dot NYC, a name associated with the greatest city – and home of the greatest pizza – in the world.
