.fm

.fm is the country-specific top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Federated States of Micronesia , an island nation in the Pacific Ocean . It has existed since April 19, 1995 and was assigned to the FSM Telecommunications Corporation with headquarters in Kolonia on Pohnpei .

This domain is often misappropriated and used in the broadcasting sector, since the abbreviation FM is associated with VHF broadcasting (for example with the Internet radio last.fm ). The most expensive .fm domains ever sold therefore also come from this area, among other things beat.fm was traded for 8,500 US dollars in 2011 .

The applicable award criteria for .fm date from April 27, 1998 and were last changed on August 1, 2016. BRS Media, Inc. from San Francisco is responsible for the operational operation of .fm , which also manages .am and has applied for the award of the new top-level domain .radio, which ICANN has assigned to the European Broadcasting Union has been.
