- oauea 5y agoWouldn't someone from Gibraltar be able to buy and lease it to Google?
- kortilla 5y agoYeah, but Google wouldn’t want any part of that type of arrangement. Better to let it go un-associated with the country than to depend on some other party that can extort at renewal time.
- hsbauauvhabzb 5y agoCan’t Domain name providers do pretty much the same thing? You’re only leasing a domain after all...
- thelean12 5y agoThey generally have a reputation to uphold so others don't just get up and leave. Some rando leasing it to you can do whatever they want without worrying about any of that.
- csomar 5y agoThere are 30k people in Gibraltar and probably most of them use the .com or .uk domain.
- permo-w 5y ago.co.uk
- momothereal 5y agoThey own https://www.google.com.gi/ https://www.google.com.gi/ though.
- GordonS 5y agoIf they really wanted it, presumably they could setup a shell company in Gibraltar using a local agent?
- utopcell 5y agogoogle.ar is also parked.
