In an article on TheLocal.se there is a report that Amazon quietly purchased Amazon.se for $554,500. Tip of the cap to Aaron Strong for the info.
Only a few days after it was announced that Amazon is to establish three data centres in Sweden, it has now emerged that the American e-commerce and computing giant has quietly purchased the rights to a key Swedish domain name.
The “Amazon.se” domain was recently bought by the company in a deal estimated to be worth up to five million kronor ($554,500) startup news site Breakit reports.
Unlike other European nations like Germany, France and Spain, there is currently no Swedish version of Amazon, so the purchase of the domain name could be a sign of plans for the future.
