Plans For '.christmas' On Ice Until 2014
The Guardian , Tuesday, December 18, 2012 3:27 PM
A new top-level web domain, .christmas, was expected to be among the first of 1,000 new internet suffixes to launch in the 12 months from April next year. But it narrowly missed out in a hotly-anticipated lottery in Los Angeles on Monday night, coming out of the virtual hat at the 1,290th pick. That means .christmas is unlikely to appear online until late 2014.
