Hey,
Thought I'd just copy/paste my comment from a recent DNwire post "Survey says .com ..."
What do make of this?
Regarding "Verisign their obvious connection with .com and global branding.
I was completely dumfounded the other day when entering the Verisign “Best Domain Name Contest”. Whilst about to enter my address details (I live in the UK), alas, the drop down box was fixed to the United States! Eh!
So, after mailing; and in reply, restricted to the 50 states. Not a global comp! I felt discriminated against, I know it’s nothing personal? but still feel that Verisign would promote the .com comp globally? They do have Euro sites.
Verisign stated the Best Domain Name Contest is a targeted contest and verified they were a global brand in capitals.
Maybe they were concerned about the handreg quality outside US?
