Argentina is the only country in the world that provides Internet domains for free. Whatever, just go to page www.nic.ar, you can register the name as available, ended. “Com.ar”, without paying a peso. Obviously, such goodness, created a business for which ciberokupas, quick reflexes, recorded the names of firms or persons most coveted, speculating with a subsequent sale. So, since last May, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship, which has the power over local domains, decided that users may only register a maximum of 200 domains in your name.
Changes in the area of the Internet are not only in Argentina, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a nonprofit organization responsible for assigning domain names worldwide, decided to free them. Creole This means that anyone can register their name, the termination of an Internet address you want, replacing the classic. “Com”, and instantly become a global manager. The only detail is to be paid the sum of $ 180,000 plus an annual subscription.
Domains function as the identity of the companies. The letter in the cyber world, both giants of the multinational and smaller businesses. Gustavo Solino, to Nic in the country, explains why Chancellor since it was decided that access to a domain is free, “was thought to develop faster. We are the Latin American country with more applied domains, nearly 1,900,000. All users of Latin America make us an example. ” Argentina ranks seventh in the world ranking of registered domains, above Brazil and Italy. But the unrestricted use also brought complications.
While the number is high, their distribution is not as couples. Of the 520 thousand people listed as owners, there are three domains that have 100,000. Because of this, the recent resolution No. 203/2009 established that no entity may have registered more than 200 to his office. Therefore, those who exceed this figure can not receive third-party transfers, register new, or renewed. “The idea is that the supply of domains is faster and more efficient. At a last count, 80 percent of the remaining applications were only three people Solino says. There is also the subject of ciberokupación, use the name of a company and then sell the domain for silver. ”
So far there are 280 possible endings for the domains, of which 248 are destined for countries or territories, and only four are unrestricted use:. Com, net, org and info. Since ICANN, since 2007, approved the release of the domains at the international level. From now on, a person can “buy” a termination, for example. “Cocacola” and be responsible for numerous pages, as “hola.cocacola and manage and” sell “at will. Should only pay 180 thousand dollars and an annual fee of 25 thousand dollars on average. All these changes are derived from “The Recommendation Implementation Team (IRT), a group to analyze the positions of the various parties that will be affected to implement this proposal and recommend the best solutions to ICANN. Counsel Héctor Ariel Manoff, study Vitale, Manoff & Feilbogen is the only Argentine who joined the staff of 15 specialists IRT: “We met in Washington and San Francisco. The next ICANN meeting will be in Sydney on June 24, and define how to implement these changes. We propose some tools to prevent further spreading the problem of intellectual property. If existing domains the situation is grave, where multiplication domains can be worse. For example, Bank of America has 3,500 domains and uses much as 500 or 1000, the rest are for defense. ”
A major conflict could, in the case where two companies want to buy a domain, who has the right to it. “The issue is extremely complex. Might have faced various owners of trademarks. According to the regulations, when two parties will be decided by auction business and if you have to do with a community are going to see specialists to better define who qualifies to represent, “says Manoff.
The limitation of local domains, such as the release at the international level, will undoubtedly change the situation on the Internet. Know how they will pass today, it would be venturing into speculation. Two attempts to try to eradicate monopolies. In the local case, the idea is that there is so many domains in a few hands and in the case of ICANN, the change may create changes and open the doors to new business. So far the dotcoms still stronger as a brand, you have to see if this changed when released.
