The proposed names (books.amazon, tourism.amazon, br.amazon) all seem to be dancing around what I suspect is going to be a big fight: Who gets www.amazon?

The proposed names (books.amazon, tourism.amazon, br.amazon) all seem to be dancing around what I suspect is going to be a big fight: Who gets www.amazon?
- CharlesW 8y agoTechnical DNS question: Can "amazon" be resolved without the "www"?
- notatoad 8y agotechnically yes, there's nothing special about www and no actual reason that a TLD can't be resolved directly. However, icann policy forbids 'dotless' domains, and most browsers will probably default to doing a web search if you enter a word that doesn't look like a domain in the address bar.
- Invictus0 8y agoYes. The following is a valid url: ai./
- notatoad 8y agoAmazon the company does, obviously. The only actual fight will be how much Amazon ends up paying to the nations of the amazon to use the name. (i suspect it will be zero)
- sigzero 8y agoI suspect it will be zero as well. I think that is the correct outcome.
