Mauritius challenges UK rights over Indian Ocean domain

[Kaleido]

The right to license .io domains is being challenged on the grounds that Britain no longer has a legitimate claim to the Chagos Islands.

Both the Mauritian government and exiled Chagossians - forcibly removed by the UK from their homes in the early 1970s - are challenging British control over the .io address, which stands for Indian Ocean.

Interesting.

It never even occurred to me that .io was Indian Ocean.
