[kictanet] Ni.ke hits the Kshs 1 billion (or $9.7m) mark in the premium domain auction of the .ke second level domain launch (Warning: This could be #FakeNews :-) )

Wed Dec 20 20:38:33 EAT 2017

So am I Bob.. So am I... :-)

I had to go in several times to confirm the number.. However, the proof of
the pudding is in the eating.. Let's see who plonks that kind of money..

Some interesting domains are hitting respectable numbers.. Ranging from
100k to 500k..This is real..
