.uk and the ROR...

Rewarded for what?

- spoiling a system that worked well
- increasing costs and confusion to existing customers
- making many businesses have to reg two domains instead of one

yes they'll be value attaching to many of the new .uk domains - but it is only money sucked out of the .co.uk market.

 

[RobM]

Well it was working at nominet or serving fries with your burger. Amazing how far a few friends can get you.

After a £60K payrise in 2014, he must've been gutted when he opened his pay packet to find a paltry £6K increase in 2015. Nevermind, the extra £71K in 2016 made up for it.

Seems like the NED needs to have a word - their salary hasn't gone up in line with their peers.

 

[RobM]

Yeah but they only do one month's work for that. Can't understand why people would want that job.....
