Nic.tm offers domain name purchase, registration, management and renewal as well as Internationalized Domain Name registration for entities who wish to register their domain names using local Turkmen language characters.[1]
It has been marketed as a domain for businesses with trademarks, due to the common use of "TM" in this context.
