Let me first address the issue of cybersquatting as opposed to the practice of selling domains in the Domain After Market. Cyber-Squatting is best described as the practice of registering names, especially well-known company or brand names, as Internet domains, in the hope of reselling them at a profit. For example:- Walmart.co.keCarrefour.co.keYahoo.co.ke (which incidentally I once owned when I didn't know any better! :-) )Google.co.ke (which incidentally was free once not too long ago) The domain aftermarket is the secondary market for Internet domain names which a party interested in acquiring a domain that is already registered bids or negotiates a price to effect the transfer of registration from the registered holder of that domain name.The professional pursuit of speculation in the domain aftermarket is known as domaining. The domain aftermarket has grown substantially, as an increasing number of generic domains names that promise 'marketing appeal' and 'desirability' are registered by domain warehouses, or resellers.The domain aftermarket is facilitated by auction houses which provide communication methods for buyers and sellers to interact, often anonymously, to negotiate and close a transaction. They often provide additional services, such as financial escrow services and domain parking.Now let's address the uhuru.co.ke case. This is similar to the Evans Kidero case sometime back. In that particular case the Good Governor's team had the good sense to negotiate and acquire the domain that had slipped through their fingers.So is Uhuru a Brand Name or a Generic Name? A quick look at Google search results indicate that the word Uhuru has a generic meaning (freedom) and is also a name. So which one is it? A Brand Name or a Generic one. Let's do another exercise. Word. Generic name or brand name for one of the most successful computer programs ever?You get the picture..Does this issue belong in the Cyber-Security bill?My take:- A resounding NO. Let's apportion the blame where it belongs..with the guys who should have known better and let such a valuable Generic Name lapse.KeNIC are you listening? Seems like some people need 101 lessons on Defensive Domain Registration. And to Corporates out there here's my advise for free:-Move your domain custodian services from the IT Department to the Marketing Department.My two cowrie shells..

Blessed Saturday! The next call is for the "Central Banks" to turn a blind eye or pluck an eye for innovations relating to Diaspora money remittance. Even with the increased options, the cost is too high swallowing up the real money that gets into the hands of recipients in developing countries or reducing the true value of each of the many low value amounts sent in (inter currency exhanges included).
