Re: UKNM: Marketing Quality Domains/aka cybersquatting?

[Speechrad]

I'd like to add my voice to this.  

  It's one thing to have an established domain that someone else makes a good 

offer for but not just buying up names you can hold people with less 

foresight(?)to ransom.

IMHO one should have to apply for business names with a clear intention to 

trade and if the site is not active within, say, 6 months the domain should 

be clawed back into the pool.

The situation could perhaps best be resolved now by making new domains .ltd 

or .plc only available to registered companies. Perhaps issued by Companies 

House along with Co formation. They could throw in trademark recognition at 

the same time thus clearing up a whole other mess.
