Nobody seems to know why it has taken so long, but ICANN has finally authorised the delegation of .EU as a ccTLD (country code Top Level Domain). The registration process will be managed by EURid. This news doesn’t yet mean that you can register domain names – registrations will only be available in the last quarter of this year for public bodies and trademark holders. Open registrations are not likely to begin until 2006.
