Over 3000 applications for .swiss domains so far
A little over three weeks ago, the federal government launched the registration of domains ending in .swiss. To date, the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) has received over 3,000 registration applications.
Bakom is very pleased with this, says spokeswoman Caroline Sauser. Although no specific figures have been given as a target, the registration applications received so far show that there is interest in the .swiss extension. Initial fears that the new domain extension might not take off have been allayed. Sauser cannot say which domain is the most contested so far. The launch phase will run until November 9. After that, Bakom will publish a list in which the domains applied for can be viewed - as well as who has submitted a candidacy for the domain in each case.anyone who does not agree with a particular allocation can subsequently get in touch and express an interest in the domain themselves, for example. However, if an application received during the launch phase correlates with a trademark registered in the Trademark Clearinghouse, the trademark owner will certainly receive the corresponding domain, as Sauser says.
