[lac-discuss-es] Fwd: Tech Founder Paid Anguilla $700,000 to Use the .Ai Domain - Business Insider
[[-- Translated text (es -> en) --]] Colleagues, I draw your attention to this note, https://www.businessinsider.com/tech-founder-paid-anguilla-700000-to-use-the... . In the article at the URL included here, some prices are illustrated and activities of the dot-ai domain, corresponding to the nation of Anguilla, from our region. As you can see, this is a ccTLD that is operating a speculative market with potential for abuse of names domain, with high prices and unregulated conditions, but based on the ambivalent semantics of "AI"; its prices and growth are not due to the interest of the registrants in the territorial, tourist virtues, social, geological, maritime, fishing, or any other territory in question, nor business of or with entities in the same, but in the coincidence with the acronym for "Artificial Intelligence". It is a case of study as is the domain of Tuvalu, "TV", or as it was attempted to do so some years with Niue, "nu", based on the meaning of the word "nu" = "new" in Swedish (incidentally, also "unclothed" in French), which was not successful. Other national domains not regulated with the contractual basis of gTLDs such as Hong Kong (dot-hk) have given lead to massive records used for malicious activities or even downright criminal. This is not exclusive to them, as it has also been presented in generics as "dot-xyz", but generics eventually can be controlled based on ICANN's contract system. It also happens that problematic domains such as those mentioned end up doubly marginalized - network administrators block them on lists access control, and important users avoid logging in They, or they are registered for defensive purposes but do not generate traffic to them. If this happens later, it will be detrimental to the population of Anguilla. change of a temporary benefit. It goes to registration on topics of interest, and to the study group and DNS Abuse policies, and for the long-term study of the impact of domain name policies in the region.
