I agree with all you assertion about Wales/Welsh, I am sure wales is all that and more but those reasons are sentimental/nationalistic reasons rather than a good business reason for the need a welsh extension.

You can use the reasons to argue for a .cornwall , .anglo-saxon etc etc. I think we have and excellent domain extension in .uk , wish we should all use.

Without our own domain name it means tht there are Welsh language sites on English language domains

Spain is a country IN europe it has .es. gemrany .de Walews is a country in its own right, as is Scotland & ireland. We have teh RIGHT to a domain just the same as ANY country surely? Or are you saying that the UK countries are not the euqual of other eu countries

Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, Gibraltar and the Falklands all have ccTLDs and they are not even countries. Just been digging around on wikipedia, did you know about this dra.hmg.gb

I must say, I'm not really for a .cym TLD, it's for the same reasons as Temi. How many people would use it? I mean, if they used it for Welsh language sites, or only Welsh people could register it, tehn I'm all for it. I just think it's a little pointless if not.

Sure, it's nice for an identity I guess, but I'll always keep .co.uk for me. Sorry!
