Sir Frank Schillington
Uber-domainer, Frank Schilling has been touted by DomainGang as one of the three pillars of domaining; the other two being Rick Schwartz and Dr. Kevin Ham (also known as “the man who owns the Internet”.)
Frank’s sizable investment in the .XXX namespace was criticized by some as a “pornographic” twist of a very likable authority in domaining.
But Frank himself shrugs off any such notion, in an interview he gave to dotXXXvideos – the video channel of the ICM Registry – during DNCruise.
“Years ago when I harvested for domain names, I discovered, just as a quirk that there are some namespaces that get – where people think that they already exist. […] Triple X is one of those namespaces that people actually think exists.”
The interview is from September 2011, three months before the December 6th launch of .XXX
Frank Schilling – or Sir Frank Schillington as some people call him – continues:
“I believe in the long term I will probably get a 10X return on my investment. […] I’m not a huge adult operator, but I view myself as a cable company and I’ve got channel 976, 977 and 978 now!”
