Cagliari/Utrecht, 26 July 2005 - Today Tiscali signed an
agreement with UNIDT (Unified Identity Technology), a PublicRoot
affiliate, giving all Tiscali subscribers access to a new generation of
internet "Top Level Domains (TLD's)".
Top Level Domain names are the letters or words following the dot in a
website address. UNIDT and the PublicRoot allows companies to register
domains such as .Tiscali or .KPMG without needing to enter the traditional
internet domains (such as .com/.org/.net), or country codes (such as
.nl/.be/.de) and without needing to type www.
Tiscali will offer to its subscribers across Europe access to the
PublicRoot World Wide Web, including many new alternative domain
names. The agreement underscores Tiscalis commitment to embrace
technological developments that simplify, improve and expand the
opportunities offered by the Internet.
With public TLDs (Ptld) anyone can register any desired term, such as
.wine, .tickets or .forsale. Corporate TLDs (Ctld) enable companies to
make their web address synonymous with their name. For companies, the new
Top Level Domain structure offers additional opportunities to profile
themselves and to manage the traffic to their websites more effectively.
The new TLD Structure means that an infinite amount of secondary domain
names can be registered, such as contact.unidt, helpdesk.unidt or
subscribe.unidt. Instead of going to the UNIDT homepage, UNIDT users and
visitors can directly navigate towards the information they are looking
for.
Italy, Germany, and the UK can now access these new domains starting this
September.
Today, in the Netherlands Tiscali customers can access these new
generation domains now. Moreover, Tiscali Netherlands is one of the first
companies to have registered a corporate TLD (home.tiscali). Other large
companies are KPMG, TomTom and many more.
