The Small Island of Anguilla Profits from the .ai Domain

The island of Anguilla, through a stroke of luck, acquired ownership of the .ai domain, which has turned into a lucrative business for them. Initially making $2.9 million annually from the domains, the territory is now earning $2.9 million per month from sales alone. They expect this number to increase to $6 million per month next year. This unexpected windfall has allowed Anguilla to pay off debts and cover the salaries of educators.
