Major firms set to change suffixes after Britain gets simpler new .uk address from today
Britain is getting a new national web address of ‘.uk’ from today in what is being described as the biggest shake-up in the internet for 30 years.
The change means businesses and individuals can choose to drop the familiar ‘.co.uk’ and ‘.com’ suffixes from their web addresses in favour of the short and simple ‘.uk’.

Nah... only.... they will need to get all, and I do mean ALL, their stationery reprinted... and their transport re-painted.... to reflect the change...
so.. what "advantage" will there be to change ? will it make them more profitable? will it increase their world wide influence? I doubt it.....
As for " the biggest shake up for the internet in 30 years ".... who on earth decided that ?

Of course there will be the other reason why they will register it
Imagine somebody registering amazon.uk as there probably won't be any restriction on registering a .uk address where there is already a .co.uk address

The one .me.uk address I really wanted as a .uk has been

I wonder how long they hold the reservation for before releasing it back to the pool for anyone else to register.

What will happen to .uk if Scotland votes to leave?
I presume we'll still have the union (England, Wales and NI) so that's OK except 'certain people' may no longer be entitled to use .uk (maybe have to re-register as '.scot', '.co.scot' etc.)

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Apparently the people's geek, Steven Fry was one of the first to register a .uk domain. In his announcement he declared that new domains "generate new IP numbers which so far show no sign of giving out".
If only he'd told everyone 5 years ago - think of the money everyone could have saved working on IPv6
