Island nation to launch dot-WTF?

A seriously intriguing idea is brewing a storm of internet interest just over the ocean between Hawaii and New Zealand. Internet news sources report that the catchy ccTLD .WTF might replace the pending .wf for the islands nation of Wallis and Futana in French Polynesia. The island is actually under French Government yet has local customs and tribal royalty.

The launch of a .WTF ccTLD could bring needed revenue to the island nation. A French subcurrency (CPC) and agricultural economy prevail. Assessment of the .WTF market is yet to be determined.  But a piece of legislature to change the name of the place is all that stands between 2 strips of island with little fresh drinking water and a boom of cultural, social, and civil benefits.

Another five figure hyphenated German domain sale; musik-base.de domain sold in xx,xxx

I understand people in Germany prefer hyphenated domains and there have been quite a few good hyphenated German domain sales. Recently Musik-base.de was sold in five figure range, at 25,001 Euros (nearly $34,000). I beleive it has bee sold to an end user because of the keyword quality.

I was thinking whether any resellers would pay the same range for its .dom counterpart, MusicBase.com. I have serious doubt about this.

It was a nice German domain sale.

New Dot .hub market soon to open

 

Disputes about marshland property taxes, oyster bed revenues, and coconut harvesting environmental concerns gave rise to this constitutional anarchy. While the United Nations is still considering their petition offer, the European domain markets have been awash in requests for dot-HUB. The country code for .HUB will be brokered by Marcaria.com of France. Expatriates of the New Hebrides region have been approved for .hub domain purchase with responsibility for proof left with the domain name registrars.
