It's been widely reported that New York City is applying for its own TLD, called '.nyc,' seeing revenue generating potential from reselling sites within that domain to New York City businesses. A joint statement issued March 21 by Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and Councilmembers Gale Brewer and Fernando Cabrera explained: 'From the bodega down the block to the pizza parlor around the corner, soon every New York City business will have the opportunity to register its own dot-NYC domain.'..."
