The Indian mobile operator Airtel has finally got control over the airtel.com domain name. Earlier the domain name was owned by Vodafone, and then it was put on the open auction. Someone purchased it through that auction, but now Airtel has got the ownership of this domain name with the help of World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
The Who-is records of the airtel.com reveals the following information about this domain name:
Domain Name: AIRTEL.COM Registrar: USA WEBHOST Whois Server: whois.usawebhost.com Referral URL: http://usawebhost.com Name Server: No nameserver Status: clientHold Updated Date: 19-apr-2010 Creation Date: 13-feb-2010 Expiration Date: 13-feb-2011
Its “clientHold” status indicates that the domain name has not been officially transferred to Airtel yet. According to CellPassion, A 21-year-old Indian boy Ramandeep Singh had won the airtel.com domain name, and tweeted to sell it to Airtel. But Airtel followed the legal path, and filed a case in Arbitration and Mediation Center.
