Roy McClean, CEO of Custom Fit Communications Groups, was recently featured in a news broadcast on CBC Radio One's "The Current".
This national radio show airs daily midweek on CBC radio, CBC.ca website and Sirius Satellite radio.
The show highlighted a segment about the new Internet .ECO top-level-domain that is up for bids.
Three letters at the end of an internet address have sparked a surprisingly high-stakes fight between two environmental champions. The letters in question are "ECO" And they're in play because starting next year, the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers -- the body that oversees internet domain names -- plans to begin letting people register web sites that end in dot-eco.
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev both think that's a great idea and one that could be a powerful tool for environmental progress. But they have different ideas about what should be done with it.
There are clearly a lot of people willing to put a significant amount of time and money into controlling certain domain names. Roy McClean, owner of Custom Fit Communications, an internet marketing and development company, provided his opinion regarding the .ECO domain battle.
Roy McClean, a graduate of UBC's web analytics program, is currently enrolled in the University of California Irvine's web intelligence course. Roy and his company serve clients across North America including Tourism Whistler / whistler.com. He is generally regarded as one of Canada's leading Internet marketing experts. He and his business associates are presently building a new website for Tourism Pemberton and the Pemberton Chamber of Commerce.
