.eu when?

[Crazy]

Does anyone know when .eu is going to make its long overdue appearance? There's gold in them there hills you know.

honestly never heard of 'em, don't like to keep track of all the domain endings.

did a little research and sources say the end of 2002 marked the beginning, so the end was?? (the end of 2002?)

i never was linked to one of these domains, so obviously the domain hasn't started to appear too often yet, not sure why?

[Crazy]

I would recommend keeping an eye on .eu as its the domain for the whole of Europe. Even if you're not European you may still be able to land a cream of a domain and sell it on for bundles. Yes I know its naughty but it's a dog eat dog world and if you don't steal it a bleeding corporation will.

It's been in the pipeline for years but I really don't know what's happened to it.

"Depending on the rate of progress on these issues, .eu is expected to be operational towards the end of the year."
