Re: UKNM: "cybersquatter"

[James Downes]

.com is the US commercial domain, I can remember when they were somwhat

sniffy if you wanted a .com and didn't have a US office!.


I have always understood this in relation to postage stamps, British

stamps don't have to have a country indentifier as the British started

international mail but all other countries have to identify themselves.

The country TLDs were created to identify countries as "not the USA" in

a similar manner.
