  Single or multiple services providers combined to provide one or more services and to do that universally you need location with a universal numbered ID.They are very complex.

  Two examples of Universal Cloud mentioned in an article in the Economist.com which are convey the same idea of phone converging with the internet. Imagine, says the man from IBM, that you are running on empty and want to know…

  What if these intrusions by other governments/individuals were for the good of the United States? to say prevent something as drastic as 9/11, than I would be all for "International code of conduct for information security." Again as you say…

India - The Internet's Next Billion

  Transition from IPv4 To IPv6 is still incomplete as P2P is not enabled. If Indian cellphone users starts using the net certainly the Domain Registries could make a killing.

IPv6 Transitional Uncertainties

• Comment posted Sep 15, 2011 4:40 am PDT — by Virendra Gandhi
  Your suggestion about transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is inevitable may be true, but there is still an alternative. Why not take all things to ‘link level’ and treat the net ‘simply as a telecom’ with the user having a…

  Mobile applications will remain too few and cannot be universal, true its only mobile web that will survive.

Could .NAME be the Killer App ENUM is Waiting For?

• Comment posted Sep 19, 2010 2:37 am PDT — by Virendra Gandhi
  Actually Verisign could possibly been working on such approaches since quite some time. I believe it could be, because they too feel that the present system is not good enough. With .Name they are falling in the same Namespace trap…

Domain Names as Second-Class Citizens

• Comment posted Aug 13, 2010 2:39 am PDT — by Virendra Gandhi
  Whatever Komaitis’s legal argument, Domain Names are on a first come first served basis. My knowledge of trademark is half baked, but to me trademark is art work and not registration of the Name/word. There was this case I heard…

Panel Allows Woman to Keep Domain Name That Is Her First Name

• Comment posted Jun 30, 2010 2:33 am PDT — by Virendra Gandhi
  The constraint here is that only one user can register, others are left high and dry. It's time that this problem is solved.

  They are also named high and dry. Actually This is where the international/country laws should step in.If this Company Grazia is incorporated than those laws should be followed. Clearly the net has to go forward and sort out these issues.

• Comment posted Jun 27, 2010 2:36 am PDT — by Virendra Gandhi
  The problem of one Grazia is solved but what about other Grazia's in US and for that matter in other countries where only one Grazia can have the Domain name. It's time the address analogy is brought up front

New Book on Domain Name Regulation

• Comment posted Jun 25, 2010 4:27 pm PDT — by Virendra Gandhi
  True it is this very naming constraint that needs to be dealt with immediately with an out of the box thinking and work on allowing multiple users to have the same Name/ID. Of course with privacy concerns kept in mind.…

  This is an excerpt of a write up on what I am working on. The Cloud Computing Platform will allow User URL of TLDs to register for the Number ID. It 'will' allow users to have multiple ID’s”, but wont…

The Digital Divide on IP Addresses

  Hi, I fully agree with you IPv6 cannot solve the address shortage problem Ipv4and 6 both have inherent shortcomings. I am working in this area via a net service which will have location details and allow multiple users to have…

Could This Be the Silver Bullet for Cloud Computing

• Comment posted Mar 16, 2010 4:52 pm PDT — by Virendra Gandhi
  Darren, First the TLN will be a dot suffix like a TLD but instead register the user differently. I had mentioned that it has to be ‘all’ inclusive, including the registries, as they have the set up in place, which…

Vint Cerf Stresses the Need for Inter-Cloud Standards

  HippoCampus could be the enabler, platform, and a compelling reason for inter cloud standards and collective madness of adding newer TLDS is making the matter worse.

Forget TLDs, Keep Dot Suffix and Move On

• Comment posted Aug 22, 2009 4:43 am PDT — by Virendra Gandhi
  Why should one add tons of words from many languages to make a Domain personal? How many Kevin ohashi can you have in dot com? You are talking about search engines, try searching for John Smith in New York and…

  I never said the system is broken at the same time it is not flawless, but people should be able to have their names. Yes the dot suffix is what we have now, we cannot do without it. Probably when…

  That’s why there will be the dot suffix; it could be .name or.com or even a .gen the idea is to create space for users, this way, because of limitations of DNS. I will be calling this service HippoCampus (I…

  Sure it’s much easier to remember words/phrases and have a uniform way of locating things but it isn’t flawless, semantic web as suggested by Sir Tim Berners lee was being discussed way back in 1998 and still seems to be…

  Location comes into play, The registering is to be done at ones location which will be provided in a series of drop boxes to choose from. The registration at that location will be with a special logical number and so…

  Remember the registering has to be decentralized, with a combination of two services one for registering and other for directory, one can work his way to Hotels, there will be no Hotels.com though Hotels.com's URL can also be registered. The…

ICANN Culls Three More Domain Name Registrars

  Why not cull all of them and have just one dot suffix.
