Top Registrants of Famous Names in Open ccTLDs
Registrations in Open ccTLDs

The tables below summarize .CC, .TV, and .WS registrations of famous names (of Fortune, Forbes, and Interbrand companies and brands) by top registrants. Email addresses have been manually masked. Reporting excludes domains registered by an ICANN-accredited registrar on behalf of one or more customers. Registrant email addresses, city, state, and country are including in reporting of top .CC and .TV registrants but are not available in .WS because the .WS WHOIS service does not provide this information.

* Registrations held by a registrant using an address at internationaladmin.com seem to be registered to mailing addresses associated with the respective firms. However, the internationaladmin.com web site points only to an "under construction" page, calling into question whether internationaladmin.com in fact registered the specified .TV names at the request of the respective corporations.
