Can we buy a TLD ?

[arunpattnaik]

I heard someone with "the man who owns the internet" fame, has aquired the entire .cm TLD. so whoever types a domain with a .cm at the end, it goes to that guys website and he earns revenue! I wonder how is it done? I have tried to do a lot of searches in google, but couldnt work it out.

Is it really possible to own a whole TLD ?

Similar to the guy who registered uk.co - apparently lot of people make this mistake

It's not TLD as it's ccTLD. However it's still possible if the country are willing to rent or sale they cctld to u.
