Strict Domain Rules on Horizon

The governing bodies who rule over the domain world have been tightening their practices all over the world, including Russia and China. While domainers worldwide know how to leverage their contacts and connections to register domains, the powers that be intend to limit that dynamic in future.

Law enforcement officials working in the technology sector in the U.K. and U.S. are requesting that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers to put in place stronger measures that would help reduce abuse of the domain name system. At every level of the game, the internet is becoming more regulated.

Country Code Apps Niche Opportunity

Ask not what your country code TLD domain name can do for you, but ask rather what you can do to enhance the value of country code domain property. Setting up global real estate under a foreign country domain name TLD takes pizzazz and killer apps. But who will provide the next universal domaining tools for the huge market of domainers who have lots of ccTLD  real estate in their portfolio but no way to launch it?

TLD’s in motion

Top Level Domain development continues apace. For those naysayers who pitched up that all top level domains and their most preferable names had been snapped up, this is a bit of a comedown. Developing TLD launchpads names continue to be promoted and articulated worldwide.

Global Domain Frenzy

Of concern to many domainers is the consolidation of sizeable international portfolios of names within certain estimated price ranges.  This kind of acquisition signals serious sea changes for competition within those markets. With the many new country codes and sub-TLD’s being launched by ICANN recently, domainers continue to watch the domain spaces around the world closely.
