The CNBC story was indeed about Kevin Ham, but it mainly focussed on Agoga, the business that monetizes the “.cm” (Cameroon) ccTLD. So unfortunately the story portrayed in the show did not show the most positive faces of domainers, since it mainly focussed on how the “.cm” domain makes money of “.com” typos. However the short interview with Business 2.0’s Paul Sloan was based on the title story of tomorrow’s business 2.0 magazine, “The Man who owns the Internet”, which promises to be a more in-depth story.

The story mentioned how Kevin also is trying to make similar deals for .om (Oman), .ne (Niger) and .et (Ethiopia). It failed to mention, how Google and MSN also profit directly from Typos by displaying default search results in some webbrowsers when a mistyped domain does not exist.
