A Broomfield, Colo., Internet user has registered two domain names — universityofcentralcolorado.com and denverstateuniversity.com — after a news report was published outlining plans by the Metropolitan State College of Denver to change its name to either the University of Central Colorado or Denver State University.<\/p>\n
A representative of domain name manager GoDaddy.com told the Daily Camera<\/em>, “I don’t know if it’s domain squatting or not.”<\/p>\n “Since they’re going to be using the .edu, I think it’s more domain speculating. There definitely are marketing opportunities.”<\/p>\n A spokesperson for Metro State, Cathy Lucas, said the institute was not bothered by people using the .com equivalents of its new name.<\/p>\n “It looks like someone saw an opportunity, so good for them,” she told the news provider.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, John Gunter, who registered the new Web addresses for $7.49, said if the college asks for them, he will hand them over.<\/p>\n Recently, a Pennsylvania plumbing firm was embroiled in a anti-cybersquatting case after it registered more than 200 domain names — including some that use the mark of rival firms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Broomfield, Colo., Internet user has registered two domain names — universityofcentralcolorado.com and denverstateuniversity.com — after a news report was published outlining plans by the Metropolitan State College of Denver to change its name to either the University of Central Colorado or Denver State University.
