It can be used by anyone to emphasize their connection or affinity with this country. It is a great option for companies that want to highlight their Ecuadorian roots, especially if they are startups catering to Ecuadorians, or those simply looking to expand in Latin America.
The .ec ccTLD was created in 1991 and is currently managed by Nic.ec. There are no geographic restrictions on the acquisition of domains from Ecuador.
