.la relaunched as Los Angeles' TLD

[Anthony Ng]

After much fuss, .la finally relaunches as Los Angeles' TLD (instead of Lao People's Democratic Republic) with DreamHost running the official .la registrar on behalf of LANames Corporation.

If this fails, they can relaunch it next year as the Louisiana extension.

I guess they are very clever to market .la to a metropolis which has a population of 10 million citizens instead of a COUNTRY with less than 5.7 million whose per capita GDP is just about $1.6k.

No, I didn't register any .la domains (though I used to live in Louisiana, another place that might find the domain descriptive).

Several Laotian government sites are linked from http://www.gov.la/ .

At least it will have a strong market base of Los Angeles and, like someone has mentioned earlier, Louisiana.
