.London domains

[SantaClaus]

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.

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

Some are more equal than others.

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

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.

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?
