Los Angeles Gets Own TLD

DM420 writes "On June 9th, Los Angeles officially becomes the world's first city to have its own Internet domain.Great to hear since one day I hope to be an owner of my own TLD and this is a step in the right direction. ;) The registry is located at www.la and further details at DMnews.com" Looks like an Irish firm made a deal with Laos to use the .la TLD. Looks to be on the pricier side of domains, though.

Re:Open NIC Open Source TLD's

[great throwdini]

[OpenNIC]'s nifty, like www.yournamehere.geek. Or even create your own TLD altog[e]ther ... I am having a tough time getting any local govt to listen to ... alternate IT.

And yet your personal /. link is a .net - so nifty you're trying to talk local governments into adopting it, not nifty enough to use yourself. What to make of this, I don't know.
