Amazon is busybodied trying to gobble up all kind of top - grade domains—.book , .read , you name it — but it also has its eye on .amazon , too . Turns out that the Brazilian and Peruvian government have something to say about that though , and would rather snag it for the famous river .
The Guardian reportsthat the governments have filed complaints with ICANN , the organization that seem after cyberspace naming . The Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology pointed out :
“ [ A]llowing private companies to read geographical names as gTLDs to reenforce their brand strategy or to profit from the meaning of these names does not process , in our view , the public interestingness . ”
It may have a point ! In fact , it ’s not the only geographic problem to come up out the top - degree domain purchasing , either : Argentina is presently trying to get ahead the .patagonia top stratum field to see to it that it ca n’t belong to to the out-of-door clothing company of the same name . Ultimately , it boil down to ICANN deciding whether consumerism or geographical identity win out — which is n’t necessarily an prosperous decisiveness to make . What do you think ?
