New opportunities to bid for the administration of .Co domain

The following is the schedule the MinICT proposes to bid for the administration of the .Co domain: 

  1. During the second quarter of 2019 the action plan of the selection process will be published, and a meeting will be held to present the project to the possible interested parties, in order to look for a plurality of bidders.
  2. In the third quarter of 2019, the bidding announcement will be published.
  3. In the fourth quarter of 2019 the concession contract will be awarded and signed.

The .Co domain: 

It not only refers to the country but can also be related to “company” or “corporation”. This condition allows it to have a greater range of action and a projection towards the market.
