The Swedish Post and Telecom Agency (PTS), responsible for monitoring the electronic communications and postal sectors in Sweden, has advised that only banks will be able to register domain names including the word âbankâ.
In the announcement, PTS advised the term âbankâ is protected by law and may only occur in domain names registered by organisations that are classified as banks.
More information is available from the PTS website at pts.se while the original announcement in Swedish is available at pts.se/sv/Nyheter/Internetsakerhet/2009/Ordet-bank-ska-skyddas-i-domannamn.
