It's not much different from people hoarding dictionary domains and selling them for insane amounts.

But I understand your point and the whole system is rotten. First come first served is no longer viable.



What is viable though? First come, first served enables domainers. Jacking up annual domain prices can be harsh on businesses in poorer countries.

Public auctions for each new and released domain might have merit, but will still attract domainers and preclude many fresh companies.


I never said I have a solution I just know that the current situation is not good either.
