It seems you can now be called a cyber-squatter even before a business uses the name in commerce.

I would have thought netimperative would know that different businesses can share the same name for different goods or services.

Some quotes:

London's newest evening newspaper appears to be have been left vulnerable to cyber-squatters and competitors ahead of its planned launch later this year.

Londoni.com is still for sale for $500.00 from owner Page Howe, a resident of Manchester, Tenessee in the US.

Meanwhile, London-i.com is owned by one Robert Anderson of Renwick, New Zealand.

Among other possible domains for the newspaper, Londoni.net is still for sale, while so is the crucial UK address, london-i.co.uk.

It's too late for londoni.co.uk however, now in the hands of proud owner Padimax Limited in Crumpsall, Manchester which operates Myoldhouse.co.uk.

I wonder how many people have had a quick look to see if Londoni.net is still up for grabs?
