Well it seems that iPhone is problematic in Canada for two reasons. First, another company has the copyright on the name and second, there is no deal with Rogers yet. Apple doesn’t even have the domain.
It seems that everyone who bet on “iname” is laughing now, but it begs the question of reviewing the copyright process now that trademarks and associated terms can become global in very short order. But even though it should happen, I don’t think it ever will as that level of agreement would take an amazing amount of openness for a system that was designed to be closed.
