Pretty soon it will be possible to register names under the .eg domain. The Egyptian registry is releasing this toplevel domain. Allthough we don’t know all the restrictions for this extension yet, it is already very clear that registering a domain name under .eg will only be possible for some happy few.
One of the already known conditions for registering a name under this extension, is that the company which apllies for a domain name must have been active in Egypt for at least 15 years. We don’t know yet what the other conditions will be but it’s quite clear that only a very limited group of people will be able to apply for a name under the .eg domain.
