My Domain?
Recommend on Google+
The BBC’s technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones reports here on proposed changes to the internet domain registration system that are likely to swpan a new generation of popular internet addresses. This video clip could be a good resource when teaching students about the role of property rights in a market economy. If the reforms go through we might see another stampede of so-called cyber-squatters rushing to register some of the really popular domain names followed by a backlash as established online and bricks and mortar businesses look to protect their trademarked names by claiming that these domain names actually belong to them!
