George Pongas, Vice President, Corporate Affairs & Business Development – Registry Solutions Neustar, Inc. stated:
Neustar is thrilled to share the news that Telecommunications Radiocommunications and Broadcasting Regulator (TRBR) in Vanuatu has appointed us as the new Registry and DNS services provider for the .vu ccTLD. It is truly humbling to have our capabilities, our experience and our approach to Registry and DNS operations recognized again, this time by TRBR and the Vanuatu digital community.
This is a unique time in .vu’s history, with potential for growth and opportunities to strengthen and provide improved stability to the namespace, for the benefit of Vanuatu’s people, businesses and communities. We are firm believers that the credibility of a ccTLD is crucial, and that’s why we operate like a partner, rather than a vendor, for our Registry clients.
