Ni.ke hits the Kshs 1 billion (or $9.7m) mark in the premium domain auction of the .ke second level domain launch (Warning: This could be #FakeNews :-) )
Auction ends on the 30th I think. Some though did end yesterday.
Would be interesting to hear from KENIC.

Now that the auction is complete… any indication if this indeed happened?

The auction is getting very interesting..
By the way.. This is a note to KENIC – I believe there are bidders who are using bots to automate the auction alerts.. Amazing stuff!
Great use case for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning..

I had to go in several times to confirm the number.. However, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.. Let\’s see who plonks that kind of money..
Some interesting domains are hitting respectable numbers.. Ranging from 100k to 500k..This is real..

Ni.ke hits the Kshs 1 billion (or $9.7m) mark in the premium domain auction of the .ke second level domain launch. This is probably an all time record of any ccTLD (Country Code Second Level Domain).
For a minute I thought this was an error. And it could still be.. 🙂
auction.kenic.or.ke/item/19203406/nike
If this turns out to be true it would be a world record and focus the world alot more on Kenya.. Hold on! We are onto a wild ride! 🙂
At the very least this is great PR and a Marketing Coup.
@Abdalla and Team – Well done for putting KENIC on the map!
