| Six-millionth dot-uk domain sold
UK businesses setting up online are choosing dot-uk domains in preference to anonymous dot-com addresses, according to domain registry Nominet, which sold the six-millionth dot-uk domain last week to a Merseyside builder. While some feel a dot-com address confers more status, a dot-uk domain is obviously based in the UK and is likely to attract local customers, said Nominet. In a recent survey of 2,324 UK internet users carried out by YouGov, people searching for information were six times more likely to click on a dot-uk rather than a dot-com address. Tony Hunt of Klassik Builders in Merseyside, the six-millionth dot-uk domain, said: "These days people go straight to the internet to find information, even if they are just looking for a local builder. I felt that by choosing a .co.uk address, people would be more likely to visit my website." Ironically, the builder's site was under construction when interested visitors followed links to it for a day or so after Nominet issued a release.

SFWMD approves Miami-Dade's 20-year water permit
With Miami-Dade County's promise to build about $1.9 billion in water projects, the governing board of the South Florida Water Management District approved a permit on Thursday for the next 20 years of the county's water use. The consumptive use permit allows Miami-Dade to use about 76 million more gallons of water a day by the time everything is built. That would support the county of 2.4 million people to grow to 2.7 million residents by 2027. However, the permit is contingent on the county building those water projects along a strict timeline. The district could revoke the permit and limit water allocations if the county doesn't perform. "Not only does it impose deadlines for the project to be in service, it also requires interim milestones to ensure the financial service plans are met," said Santiago Echemendia, a Tew Cardenas attorney in Miami who represents the district's governing board.
