Registration of internet domain names under Finland's top level root "fi" is administrated by the Telecommunications Administration Centre (TAC). Today there are around 5000 registered domain names and approximately 3500-4500 new domain names will be registered during 1997.

REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION OF A DOMAIN NAME

 The right to register a domain name is given only to entities and foreign branch offices registered in the trade register. The domain name shall be based on the applicant's registered name. This rule also means that for example a company may only have one registered domain name. For a significant reason the TAC may grant exemptions to this rule. If there are several applications for one name, the name is given to the applicant who has first filed his application.
