What if in 20 years Estonia decides to leave as well? It seems like .eu is not a very reliable TLD.

- craftyguy 8y agoIt's not any less reliable than other TLDs. Any nation that owns a TLD can basically do the same thing.

- blocked_again 8y agoThere are a lot of TLDs owned by companies like Google, Verizon etc
- craftyguy 8y agoI don't see how those would be any more reliable, since companies generally act in their best interest (which may not always be in your best interest if, for example, you find yourself suddenly competing with them)
- blocked_again 8y agoA domain system on Blockchain is the solution then.

- Sir_Substance 8y agohttps://www.namecoin.org https://www.namecoin.org It's been around for years.
- paulddraper 8y agoFalse equivalency. Grexit, Brexit, Frexit...the political realities of the EU are unlike those of most other TLDs.
- giobox 8y agoccTLDs are occasionally less reliable than gTLDs- The rules for running a gTLD are significantly more standardised. ccTLDs (Country Code TLDs) afford the parent nation much more control. This was largely a sop by ICANN to give countries a sense of sovereignty over their online identity. There are lots of horror stories out there involving badly administered ccTLDs, as the quality of the body chosen to administer each individual one varies so much. At any rate, ccTLDs are not run the same way as gTLDs, which is important to note.

- johnchristopher 8y agoWhat if Estonia pulls a Czechoslovakia ? Maybe political or national tlds aren't reliable.
