The fate has sealed for two new generic top-level domains - .PHD и .MBA. They were put up for ICANN auction planned to the next week, however, the applicants decided not to wait for this moment and came to an arrangement. Donuts beats Google to .MBA domain (it is an abbreviation that means “master of business administration”. This is a degree that allows to hold a senior or middle managerial position).
However, Google was not left empty-handed. It won the right to operate .PHD domain (PHD means Philosophiæ Doctor. This is a scientific degree roughly equivalent to the Russian candidate of science). Your Dot Phd, Inc claimed both of this domain, but obviously couldn’t stand the competition with such serious players.
