Who Recognized Domain Names as Digital Real Estate First?
Domain investors talk about names like property. Location, scarcity, development, leasing, resale. It's so baked in now that we forget somebody had to think of it first, and in the early 90s it wasn't obvious at all. Most people didn't know what a domain name was. The commercial internet barely existed. So who was the first domain investor? I went looking for a name and a date. What I found instead is that it depends on what you mean by "domain investor."
