Joi Ito on the Parked Domain Monetization Business
In the “Domainers” industry was mentioned in the Registrars’ session on the ICANN settlement. Frank S. of the registrar Domain Name Sales spoke up and commented on his point of view of the settlement. Joi Ito mentioned that he had to learn more about this segment of the industry, where the lines between registrants, resellers and registrars can be very blurry. There was an audible tumult in the room when Joi used the term “Cybersquatter”. Yet, he uses it again in his article at CircleID: The “Parked Domain Monetization” Business
Update:
Joi Ito also put an article up on his blog ( Investigating parked domain monetization), which points at a new page a created on the ICANN Wiki: Parked Domain Monetization. Reading the comments on Joi Ito‘s blog is highly recommended.
