Samsung Becomes First Company to Sign a dot-brand gTLD Contract

Samsung has signed its first Registry Agreement with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) ,covering the new gTLD .삼성 .

The string means “Samsung” in native Korean .

Even thoough Samsung’s .삼성 application has priority number 18,it’s the first company to sign a Registry Agreement for a dot-brand gTLD.This could mean that .삼성 will be the first dot-brand TLD to go live on the Internet .

This is the 48th new gTLD contract ICANN has signed .
