That's totally flawed reasoning. The people, if they had their own governance, would not have .IO for Indian Ocean Territories. They'd have some other not anywhere as cool ccTLD. .IO is something the British Government created, not the locals.
- 45h34jh53k4j 9y agoWhat? The people, known as Îlois or Chagos Islanders, could well have had .io as this represents the native name of their land.
- Symbiote 9y agoIt means (British) Indian Ocean (Territory). If it were part of Mauritius, it would fall under the existing MU.
- MistahKoala 9y agoI'll politely point out that your response is flawed and incorrect. As self-governing British territories, Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, Bermuda etc. all have ccTLDs pertaining to their ISO 3166-1 designations. Because of that, it isn't the British government that creates the ccTLD. There is no basis to say that BIOT would not have the .io ccTLD if its domestic population was self-governing.
