Why Mexico Lost Fight Over Mexico.com Domain Name
In a recent decision, a World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO) domain name arbitration panel
dismissed a complaint filed by the Mexican Tourist
Board (MTB) against Latin America Telecom (LAT)
concerning the domain name "mexico.com." The panel
went so far as to find that the complaint was brought
in "bad faith" and made a finding of attempted
"Reverse Domain Name Hijacking" against the MTB.

Superlotação na internet?
Houve um tempo em que as placas dos carros nacionais

algarismo caiu. Hoje já são três letras, seguidas por
quatro números. Tantas mudanças tiveram dois
objetivos: disponibilidade e controle. Afinal, não é
tarefa nada simples organizar uma frota nacional que
hoje ultrapassa 36 milhões de carros, segundo o
Departamento Nacional de Trânsito (Denatran).
