The decision to allow anyone to register a .pt TLD has suffered yet another blow, as the authorization from the Portuguese Ministry of Science and Technology was postponed to an unknown future date.
6 months ago the request to liberalize the .pt TLD was proposed by the Foundation for National Scientific Computing (FCCN) in order to stimulate the market. Only about 116 thousand .pt domains exist. This number is considered very low, and should be between 200 thousand and 1 million, if compared to similar European Countries.
