The very first domain name Symbolics.com, registered on March 15, 1985 by the American company Symbolics, Inc., a producer of special-purpose computer systems and software tools.

Dizzying heights This year, the month of November saw the number of gTLDs* (.com, .net, .org, etc.) top the 100 million mark, including dot-coms which topped 75 million. For a better sense of the breakneck speed of domain name creation, just recall that there were only 45 million dot-coms at the end of 2005, and 22 million at the end of 2002.

Finding an available domain name is now becoming even more complicated than a brand name. The future is in syntagmas (groups of words).

October 30, 2007 The Wall Street Journal reports: “Google is expected to announce advanced software and services that would allow handset makers to bring Google-powered phones to market by the middle of next year.”

Great news ! Gphone technology is on its way !  
But don’t expect to read about it on www.gphone.com or www.g-phone.com: they’re both registered. How much will Google be ready to pay should they want to buy the domain names from their current owners? Quensis is taking bets (respond to googlebet@quensis.com). A bottle of Champagne goes to the winner. FYI, rumor has it Apple paid 1 million dollars to purchase the domain name iphone.com.
 

* gTLD: generic top-level domains (com, org, net, biz, etc.), as opposed to ccTLD, country-code top-level domains
