.London domains

[mudskipper]

As an example, I would have thought that something such as restaurants.london or hotels.london would be available to all Londoners.

Depends what they mean by a right to a domain. They may consider a restaurant chain to have more right to restaurants.london than you.

Have you tried for dogging.london?

Kingdingaling.luton is mine

Oh the ISP misunderstood, they reservered KingBedWetter.luton for you instead.

They said, if you want, they can supply a Gift invoice with the Kingdingaling.luton domain.

Apart from one, I just bought ratcatchers.luton

There's still loads of .Luton domains left. All of them, actually......

Some are more equal than others.

It sounded like a good idea and as the application process was free, I applied for about 30 .London domains in the vain hope that I might get something.

A couple of weeks later the status of most of the domains I have applied for are showing as "no longer available".

Anyone know why this is? I thought any London domain that isn't a trademark goes into an auction and London residents (i.e. me!) get first bite of the cherry.
