.wire

The mission of .WIRE is to create a distinctive namespace built around the many established meanings and uses of "wire." From the physical wires and cables that carry electricity, data, and signals to communications, newswires, electronics, and creative uses, the term connects essential infrastructure with the exchange of information. .WIRE provides a memorable digital identity for the businesses, professionals, organizations, projects, and communities connected to these fields. Intended registrants include manufacturers and suppliers of wire, cable, connectors, and related components; electrical and telecommunications businesses; contractors and installers; networking, audiovisual, and broadcast providers; data-center and industrial-automation businesses; automotive, aerospace, marine, rail, energy, and infrastructure organizations; technology companies; engineers and educators; technical publishers; news and communications organizations; creators; and individuals with a meaningful connection to the term. Intended users include consumers, engineers, technicians, contractors, technology professionals, businesses, students, readers, and audiences seeking related products, services, technical information, news, communications, resources, or communities. Natural and legitimate uses include wire, cable, and electrical products; telecommunications and networking; installation and contracting services; electronics and engineering; energy and infrastructure; industrial and transportation systems; technical documentation and education; communications technology; newswires and information distribution; technology projects; creative uses; personal sites; and other relevant products, services, content, and experiences. Whether carrying power across a building, data across a network, or news around the world, .WIRE provides an intuitive digital identity for a word fundamentally associated with connection. Oinkadot intends to support the development of the namespace through broad registrar distribution, appropriate positioning of .WIRE for its intended markets, and ongoing awareness of its diverse industrial, technological, communications, informational, and creative uses. The purpose is sustainable because wires and related technologies remain fundamental to electricity, communications, data infrastructure, transportation, buildings, manufacturing, and countless systems used every day, while "wire" also has an established meaning in news and information distribution. Technologies will change and networks will evolve, but the need to connect things - and people - will remain. In one form or another, there will always be a wire connecting something to something else. These complementary physical, technological, and communications meanings provide a diverse foundation for long-term interest in the .WIRE namespace.
