Whereas, ICANN has received a request for redelegation of .SO to the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia.

But really depends on the price a lot. And still African countries have a long way ahead of them to become worth investing money in domain names..

As Somalia has no internationally recognized government, this domain is not currently used. We simply have parked this top level domain till an official government is implemented.

If you are looking for information about Somalia, please visit Yahoo's Somalia category

No .SO domains are available and we are not looking for any registrar partners.

I think we will have to wait another months or even more than a year to be able to register domains in .so extension. Let's wait for some more information.
