I wonder if anyone else on the list has been approached by a company with a Welsh telephone number and calling themselves 'Inter-web Services' in regard to possible registration of dubious domain names?
We received a phone call from someone claiming to be an ISP who has received an application to register the two domain names:
www.britishantarcticsurvey.co.uk and www.britishantarcticsurvey.com - and was giving us a courtesy call just to see if we were happy for them to go ahead with the registration.
The obvious question is why would anybody want to use such a name other than the organisation named? We assume its some sort of come-on from someone hoping we'd be willing to pay up some money. Needless to say he will be disappointed - and may find himself in court should our good name be endangered!
BTW: My belated thanks to all who replied to my earlier query ( Consultants - Information architecture ) your contributions were very valuable and not only gave us some excellent food for thought, but have also been shared with our 'powers-that-be'!
