The story of how Colombia’s ccTLD .CO became a recent success is the focus of a report in The Huffington Post.The story outlines how entrepreneur Juan Diego Calle asked the Colombian government if he could commercialise the ccTLD, a government that had previously not been open to any form of commercialisation of the country code. His submission came to 1,165 pages and sought to explain why the team was right for the job, and then they crossed their fingers.In February 2010 Calle, a local boy and a 32 year old, was given the right to manage the ccTLD over major companies such as VeriSign.To read this report in full in The Huffington Post, see:
