He should team of with Tim Berners Lee, and get the creator of the internet to claim he owns the rights to Web.com ...

So it should really be web.co.uk, or web.ac.uk, or web.gb, or web.ch or web.ac.ch or something 8) Sir Tim is a Brit and we have two TLDs uk and gb and of course Sir Tim was working at CERN in Switzerland (.ch) when he started the www thing.

Sir T only invented the www. The internet as such was invented by an American agency - ARPA/DARPA.

And it should be france.fr not france.com

It's even worse. france.com forwards to france.fr at the moment..

In the mean time, cern even got it's own top level domain, because of its international nature.

CERNs homepage is https://home.cern
