Good point, but a very arguable one. I have noticed that people find
themselves a 'home' in small countries or islands such as Nieu (.nu) and
get themselves splendidly small domain names, which in fact are
geographically meaningless. The hogging/colonisation of 1-letter addresses
only comes to show some of the challenges that ICANN is facing. It's not
much different from scalping, but how can you stop it? People even sell
that on eBay these days so domains are second(+)-hand.
