74,000 .EU Domains Suspended
Kieren McCarthy writes on The Register:
Over 74,000 .eu domains have been suspended and 400 registering companies sued by the company in charge of the European Union's top-level domain.More here.
Non-profit organisation EURid has taken legal action after a review of the system for .eu domains (which went live in April) revealed a small number of companies had registered several hundred phantom companies in order to manipulate the system.
A EURid spokesman told The Register that every one of the 400 registrars had been sued for breaching its contract with the company because they were "warehousing" domains - storing them in order to sell them on.
