It’s official – Latin America to apply for .LAT domains
Posted on November 16th, 2007 by admin in Domain News | 4 Comments »
NIC Mexico and eCOM-LAC, the organisations in charge of getting a domain extension for Latin America have announced that .LAT is the TLD that they will apply to get for this region.
In order to pursue global promotion and recognition, and to continue the growth of the internet in the Latin American community, NIC Mexico and eCOM-LAC feel that .LAT is the perfect TLD to identify themselves with.
They will make the application for .LAT to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), who will make a decision during the last quarter of 2008.
This application by Latin America follows closely the recent launches of .EU and .ASIA for Europe and Asia respectively.

The smart choice for buying & selling domain names
I think these continent-wide extensions – .eu, .asia, .lat etc. – are pointless. Each individual country already has its own extension and that’s sufficient. How do you apply a single extension to a vast, diverse region that speaks many languages? I would never invest in these.
I think there is potential in the names. If I was to have a football news site I would love to have football.asia, football.eu, or whatever football is spelled like in spanish.lat. They are short and highly brandable. I expect to see a lot of competition for dictionary word and quality keyword domains when .lat and .asia launch.
.eu is not for Europe, it’s for the European Union.
I didn’t notice I had made that mistake.
Thanks for the correction SpookyET.
