Odd. I was actually looking into registering an .ee domain some time
ago and the rules seemed very strict - owner needed to be a company
registered in Estonia, with an Estonian citizen as the administrative
contact, etc.
That requirement seems to have been relaxed now, and people are taking up the domains. Seems
funny that B&O are only now waking up to this, given that they
have/had a daughter company in Estonia - this shouldn't have been any
problem if they had registered it themselves before last July when this
guy first registered it, according to whois info.
The .com version of our company name was registered by some
Russian bloke(?) a long time ago. I never contacted them, but patiently
waited the three years for it to expire and grabbed it then
A
while ago even the Chinese tried the same. At least the .cn authority
contacted us in advance to ask if we had any dealings with the company
attempting to register it.
