A Secession By South Sudan Could Lead To Domain Profit For New Country
Posted January 19th, 2011
The average person has little idea how much money there is to be made in Internet real estate. While some were lucky enough to have the foresight 15 years ago to participate in the invisible land grab, it took years for the rest of us to catch on.
While most of the “good” (i.e. profitable) domains have been long ago accounted for, there are occasional wells to be tapped in the form of ccTLDs re-appropriated for vanity use.

If South Sudan were to make strategic choices in their Internet identity, it could lead to a huge gain for the new nation continuing the interesting precedent for possibilities of financial stability in emerging countries.
