nellie2 Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 At the weekend, Libya suddenly disappeared from the Internet. For four days not a single .ly domain was available. Even now, only a tiny percentage of the estimated 12,500 domains, paid for at $500 a pop, are accessible.It's not often that an entire country vanishes from view and the Internet community immediately set out to find out what was going. What has been discovered since then makes for even more curious reading. And it all centres on one Dr Hosni Tayeb, the "caretaker" of the domain but whose legitimacy is now under question by Centr, the international body that represents country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs).more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 It's extremely difficult to read that page with the horrible striped background, but dose anyone really care, except for the Libyans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
