Gp.rs - Great domain hack

    It is perfectly balanced domain hack (2 letters on the each side)

    57,000,000 Google results for GPRS

    For those who don't know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genera...t_Radio_Service

    wi.fi was sold for $35k last year (if I remember correct) and GPRS and wifi are relatively close technologies.

    .rs is new ccTLD for Serbia, registrations began few days ago.

    What could this be worth in reseller market?

    Yes, and we all visit wi.fi domain daily ;-) Sorry, if it is true that someone spent $35.000 USD for this domain, it was completely overpriced. Lucky seller.

    Please consider that we speak of a country-based top level domain name that always builds an association with the concerned country. This is hard for international selling and suitable only if your company would be based in Serbia.

    Another problem of .rs is that it does not stand for a community or group of site (e.g. .tv = television, .fm = frequency modulation).

    Anyway, I would say that this domain could be worth a few thousands ($3.000 to state a number), but only if you have an idea for a real business that can be associated with this domain.

    Otherwise I would spell gp.rs as "Great Payment (dot) Really Stupid" ;-)

    How much are the reg & renewals for .rs names? Are they available for regging now? I thought that you can't do it yet.
