Brilliant idea

I happen to chance upon a website that gives free domain names. Well this is not new for sure. However the idea behind this is absolutely brilliant.

Have you heard of this country called Tokelau ? I surely haven't until a few moment ago. As many would know, every country has it own country domain name extension like .au, .uk and so on and Tokelau has a .tk extension and since its such a small country with a relatively low GDP, the government of Tokelau appointed a company to be the registration entity and is giving away free domain names to anyone so that the world would know about Tokelau. What an efficient way of bringing such a small country of about 1500 residents to the world map. This project has also contributed to 10% of the country's GDP.

The internet is really powerful.
