Google’s not God. MarkMonitor’s no Moses. Thou shalt not treat Alphabet’s domain registration patterns as the 10 Commandments. Yet it’s interesting to look at what they’ve carved in stone for themselves … because it’s a display of TLD priorities … and because others too are looking.

Waymo, in case you haven’t already heard, is Google / Alphabet’s spinoff company for autonomous vehicles. The new brand name was widely reported on December 13, but close observers would have noticed a flurry of domain registrations on November 21 and 22 (depending on time zone).

Country codes I’ll deal with later. For now, let’s digest what’s on our plate already.
