So an individual is also prohibited from registering a .co.jp? It seams reasonable to me to restrict .gov.x or .edu.x, but .co.x?

- DrJokepu 17y agoI don't know about .co.jp, but individuals can definitely register .co.uk domains. I know because I own one.
- whatusername 17y agoAustralia provides a .id.au for individuals. .com.au is reserved for "businesses". (Since no-one (outside of places like HN) has ever heard of .id.au we either use .com or register a bus. name to get the .com.au)
- sailormoon 17y agoA .co.jp can only be registered by a proper company, yeah. You know .. .COmpany.JP :) A plain .jp, however, has no such restrictions; individuals can buy them. Seems reasonable to restrict any of them to their intended registrees. Just because the USA didn't enforce it (and now the namespace is an absolute mess) doesn't mean other countries shouldn't.
