Two more firms call it quits on dot-brand top level domains

Blanco GmbH and SPIEGEL terminate top level domain names.

Two firms have notified ICANN that they no longer wish to operate their dot-brand top level domain names.

Blanco GmbH is a kitchen firm that sells faucets and sinks. It is terminating the .blanco top level domain name.

Publishing firm SPIEGEL-Verlag Rudolf Augstein GmbH & Co. KG separately informed ICANN that it wishes to terminate .spiegel.

Neither firm appears to have used their top level domain names other than to create the mandatory nic.TLD website.

Both of the firms only applied for one domain name, so this marks their complete withdrawal from the fresh TLD program.

A complete list of firms to withdraw top level domain names is here.
