Kiters put the wind up web address system
The Times has a story on domain kiting, referring to it as a “new type of cyber-squatting which allows opportunists to occupy web addresses without paying for them”. The story uses a speech from Paul Twomey in Sao Paulo as its reference, saying 5 million domain names are registered by domain kiters each year. The Times quotes Paul Twomey as saying “that of the five million names that were put forward each year, only 1 per cent were registered in earnest.” Jonathan Robinson, chief operating officer of NetNames says the processing costs come out of the registry’s profits or passed on to the industry. There is also a brief mention of IDNs in the last paragraph.
