Shorter '.uk' Domain Name Put On Ice

judgecorp writes "The British domain name registry, Nominet, has abandoned the idea of a shorter .uk domain name system, which would replace the current regime where all .uk domains are in subdomains, such as .co.uk, or .org.uk. Although a consultation found a huge demand for a simpler system, Nominet couldn't get agreement on how to get there from here — so has put the idea to one side for now. There are some shorter addreses like british-library.uk — but these predate Nominet's regime."

Allright, mod me down into oblivion, but ...they just can't get it working, the poor Brits, can they ? Just like the mile against the kilometer and the pound against the kilogram: changing for better and simpler is so hard.
