Terra Nullius Concept- Empty Land
Australia has around 20m people the world has over 6 billion.
During
the late 90's, following the recognition that the dot com domain space
was the place to be in cyberspace, there was a "land rush" for
meaningful domain names. Geographic areas that carried "branding"
potential such as the "Gold Coast" were heavily targeted. Australia's
Gold Coast was in danger of losing its' .com identity as the pressure
from the American Gold Coast's including: Gold Coast Chicago, Gold
Coast Florida, Gold Coast New York, Gold Coast Hawaii etc on the Gold
Coast domain space was overwhelming.
Even today in 2008 there seems to be a disconnect or lack of recognition of the importance of Australia having a strong position in the international domain space, despite many of our larger companies such as ANZ, Virgin, BHP, Rio Tinto and Telstra, branding themselves into the International .com space; perhaps because many Australians are content to be relegated to the second level .com.au domain space as they have not realised that to lose the .com space disenfranchises them from the wider world. Put simply Australia has around 20m people the world has over 6 billion.
A Little bit of history:
State of Play as of the 29th November 2000
893 Dot Com Domain Names containing the term "GoldCoast" had been registered
Almost 70% were under USA control
232 were under Australian control (28% of total)
138 were under Gold Coast Australia control (17% of total)
We owned: 105 (32%) of the Australian owned domains
Update: As of the 19/12/2001 1,203 Dot Com Domain Names containing the term "GoldCoast" had been registered.
Over
the years, we have increased our holdings of generic and geographic
GoldCoast .com domains and have many active Gold Coast websites
currently online. They are part of our ongoing R&D program into
community based "horizontally linked, vertical, geographically based
domains".
We look forward to working with you to further our Australian Gold Coast's presence in cyberspace.
