Cameroon Typo-Squats all of .com
wayne writes "As reported on CircleID, the nation of Cameroon, which controls the .cm top level domain, has typo-squatted all of the .com domain space. They have placed a wildcard DNS record to redirect all traffic to an ad-based search page. Unlike the earlier case of Verisign putting a wildcard in the real .com domain, ICANN has very little direct control over what a nation can do with their own TLD. Will the owners of .co and .om follow?"
And to think: the French thought there was no good reason for us to control Teh Intarwebs.
Or could they have wildcarded .cm already?
There's probably a joke about net neutrality in there, too. But it's too early / late for me to find it.
One might ask the same about birds. What ARE birds? We just don't know.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO COOPERATE IN THE REAL WORLD? LOLOL
