Following the University of Oslo's request to the Norwegian government that a Lithuanian Internet ccTLD be established, .lt was launched on 3 June 1992. Domain name registration was initially limited to the academic community, state institutions and companies, with the first second-level domainsâmii.lt, ktu.lt, and vu.ltâbeing registered in 1993. In 1994 administration of the .lt ccTLD was transferred from Oslo University to the Kaunas University of Technology.[2][3]
