It was more of the trade mark Nike

 

Is it  a cyber squatter or nike that won the bid?

Ni.ke hits the Kshs 1 billion (or $9.7m) mark in the premium domain auction of the .ke second level domain launch. This is probably an all time record of any ccTLD (Country Code Second Level Domain). 

 

For a minute I thought this was an error. And it could still be.. :-)

If this turns out to be true it would be a world record and focus the world alot more on Kenya.. Hold on! We are onto a wild ride! :-)

 

​At the very least this is great PR and a Marketing Coup.

 

@Abdalla and Team - Well done for putting KENIC on the map!
