Apparently, the answer is the highest bidder.



Wouldn’t it also be the only bidder in this case? Nobody else ever made an application for the .amazon gtld.


Yay... let's put a price tag on everything! Let "the market" decide. What could we also sell... let's see: Air, water, children... the highest (richest?) bidder decides.

Especially if he got rich by exploiting workers (through low wages and bad working conditions, like wearing diapers) and exploiting state regulations (through tax evasion).


We do sell air and water, and there is nothing wrong with that.


Where do we sell air?

Access to clean, drinkable water is a human right, btw.
