Could we PLEASE keep this thread as a simple repository for links to all articles about the .uk launch (rather than discussions) - keeps things tidy!

“We think x.uk is uniquely valuable. A is for aardvark and Z is for zulu but X can be anything. I’ve already had an offer of more than £5m from a very large organisation, which I turned down.”

I cannot believe that is true?!.

Please start separate threads for any discussions! I expect there will be hundreds (thousands?) of news reports within a day or so, so this thread will become totally unmanageable if it strays beyond a simple list of links. Thanks!

Couldn't you edit your first post to add more article links and let discussions below?

If not no worries and a mod can remove my post(s)

Maybe hype, at £5 million I wouldn't walk away from that.

It sold for £40K in the short auctions a few years back.

I think it will hit the news later today - probably doing interviews with Nom, Stephen Fry, obtaining feedback from businesses, etc.

Or maybe not! Quite unbelievable that the BBC haven't covered this.
