Cairo News: Egypt 2006

The organizing committee of the African Cup of nations 2006 ( Which will be take place in Egypt) was facing a big problem in the past few weeks. Apparently the committee has agreed to select the domain egypt2006.com for the event. The problem is that when they attempted to reserve the domain, a person in Alexandria, a doctor has already taken the domain for himself one year ago! After negotiations with members of the committee ( including Dr Viken ), the guy asked for 15,000 L.E in order to give up the domain name!

Finally the committee agreed to reserve the domain http://www.egypt2006.com.eg instead.
