==History==
The .co ccTLD was originally delegated by [[IANA]] to the Universidad de los Andes on December 24, 1991 The University initiated the idea of opening the ccTLD to the global internet community for commercial purposes in 2001, however its plan was blocked by the Colombian Ministry of Communications with legal action. The objection was disputed by the University and informed ICANN that it intends to commercialize the domain name by appointing a subcontractor that will serve as registry operator.<ref>[http://www.iana.org/reports/2009/co-report-24nov2009.html Redelegation of the .CO domain representing Colombia to .CO Internet SAS]</ref>
