I didn’t realize how valuable domains can be to small countries. Anguilla, which owns .ai, gets a third of its government’s monthly budget from domain sales. Tuvalu, which owns .tv, could make $10 million a year from the domain, allowing it to pave its roads and expand electricity access.
The worst part about this situation is the fact that in most institutions of higher learning, online classes cost the same as f2f anyway. Heck, sometimes they cost more!

This @sshole is taking hypocrisy to a whole new level. One would think a Senator whose state has 5 military bases and a defense industry accounting for an annual economic impact of $50.3B, providing 264,780 jobs in Alabama with an annual payroll of $19.3B would act like it.
