>> Hi Ali
>>
>> Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) published a public
>> notice in the Daily News on 1st June, 2016 that reminds us that all
>> business entities registered in the country should have and use dot(.) tz
>> domain names.
>>
>> The notice stated that this requirement is in order to comply with the
>> regulatory requirements and to contribute to the national revenue. However,
>> the notice does not give a deadline to do so or limit the use of other
>> domain endings. Therefore we assume that if you own a .com, .net, .org, or
>> any other domain ending then you are required to register a respective .tz
>> domain name.
>>
>> Extreme Web Technologies is the top performing accredited registrar of
>> tzNIC. The price of domain registration for .TZ is TZS 25,000/- per
>> annum. If you are using a .com, .net, .org or any other extensions, please
>> get in touch with us so we can assist you to acquire your .TZ domain and
>> setup the redirections if required. You can continue using your current
>> domain name for your email communications.
>>
>> Here is the full public notice as published by the Daily News:
