There is also dot .io for the Indian Ocean territories. They seem to be fine with it. It is interesting they have problem with it. I wonder what the actual motivation is, because it can’t be due to a lack of viable domain for businesses.
Comment on Welp that answers a lot of why all .ml are down

The domain bs is a interesting case of scummy practices in general, .tv was missused in a similar way with awful contracts, essentially scamming a already increadably poor country!

The US and UK build a military base and established it with that ages ago so I am not surprised the current population is fine with it but they expelled the original population to do so! :/

Didn’t Tuvalu massively benefit from being assigned a TLD that is popular? I read they were able to build an airport with .tv money

Yea, they managed to get it back at some point but it was under external control with close to no benefit for them for a long time!

They reclaimed many domain rights and are now renting them out for big money, yeah. They were still scammed off by many.
