Web’s hottest real estate could go on sale

Most single-letter names like “a.com” and “b.com” remain unused, but that may soon change as the Internet’s key oversight agency considers lifting restrictions. Although Internet domain names may be getting longer or more complex as Web sites creatively squeeze into the crowded “.com” address space, most single-letter names like “a.com” and “b.com” remain unused. That may soon change as the Internet’s key oversight agency considers lifting restrictions on the simplest of names. In response to requests by companies seeking to extend their brands, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers will chart a course for single-letter Web addresses as early as this weekend, when the ICANN board meets in Vancouver, British Columbia. Those names could start to appear next year. But the transition won’t be easy — and it could lead to six-figure sales of this new online real estate, akin to opening New York’s Central Park to development. “Obviously this is a valuable commodity,” said Kurt Pritz, ICANN’s vice president for business operations. “How would the name be sold?” Names are normally released on a first-come, first-served basis for $10 or less, a policy that favors those who have written programs to automatically and frequently check for a… Read More »Web’s hottest real estate could go on sale

Why the Big Techs wanted a 1-char domain

  • by

The shortest domains in the world are extremely rare. They are only 1 character short and have a complete length of 4 chars including the dot like g.co, t.co, b.mw. This type of domains can be provided only by countries or organizations like the European Union. Each country has only 36 such domains in the Latin1 charset. Also many registries blocked 1-char domains for potential future use, so they are even more rare. The estimated number is less than 2000 worldwide. The very limited nature made the domains an interesting investment object. And since they are not only cool but have some great technological potentials also many tech companies secured some for themselves. A list of some examples and the holders: a.co – Amazon b.mw – BMW (cars) f.ie – Facebook g.cn – Google g.co – Google m.me – Facebook t.co – Twitter t.de – Deutsche Telekom v.me – Visa 1.pl – Gram.PL (music) 8.pl – Polsat (TV) 7.fr – 7Médical (health) But what exactly, beside being rare, made the shortest 1-char domains so attractive some big tech companies pay even millions to get one? Why do they care to get them already if some expensive pre-release sale is offered? The decision is… Read More »Why the Big Techs wanted a 1-char domain

In Europe and America, a number of teams have made significant breakthroughs that are bringing quantum computing closer to becoming a reality. At the University of Bristol in the UK, a team of researchers led by Professor Jeremy O’Brien has made significant progress in the development of photonic quantum computing. The team has built a scalable, programmable photonic quantum chip that uses light to carry out calculations. This chip is the result of a decade of research, and has the potential to revolutionize computing by enabling extremely fast calculations that are impossible with classical computers. In Germany, researchers at the Technical University of Munich have made significant strides in the field of trapped-ion quantum computers. They have developed a new ion trap that is able to hold multiple ions simultaneously, which is a key step towards creating larger and more powerful quantum computers. In the United States, researchers at IBM have been working on developing a 50-qubit quantum computer.
