GENEVA (AFP) — Global postal services will soon have their own address on the Internet, after the web’s authority for assigning domain names ICANN, said on Friday that it had approved the new address dot post (.post).

The managing rights of the .post top level domain name were granted to the UN’s Universal Postal Union, which will set up the rules on which organisations the address could be attributed to.

“People who access a .post site will immediately recognise it as belonging to a valid postal service or provider of postal services,” said the UPU, calling it “a piece of real estate space on the Internet.”

The .post domains are expected to be online by the second half of 2010.Eventos Domainers
