First Come First Batch
The company launched its First Come First Batch digital archery service to help new gTLD applicants to get into the first batch of applications that will be initially evaluated and approved by ICANN for early delegation. Knipp Medien und Kommunikation is the fourth company offering digital archery service and so far its service fee is the cheapest compared to its competitors. The company is charging $7,500 "early bird" fee if an applicant signs up on or before June 20, 2012. The regular fee after June 20 is set at $12,500. The catch is that applicants will only pay the service fee is they are included in the first batch. [5] New gTLD applicants interested in the service may visit the First Come First Batch website.
