Didn't Tuvalu massively benefit from being assigned a TLD that is popular? I read they were able to build an airport with .tv money
Yea, they managed to get it back at some point but it was under external control with close to no benefit for them for a long time!
They reclaimed many domain rights and are now renting them out for big money, yeah. They were still scammed off by many.
