FICORA has proposed to the Finnish Ministry of Transport and
Communications that fees for .FI domain names should be reduced as of 4
January 2010. The proposed new fees apply to the application, transfer
or renewal of .FI domains and will be €13 for one year, €36 for three
years or €55 for five years.
FICORA also announced that domain name fees will be dropped so that .FI
domain name activities would defray the costs in the future.
The proposed reductions come about following a substantial increase in
the total number of .FI domain names registered in 2009. FICORA
estimate that the total number of new domain names registered in 2009
will be 45,000.
