The Technology Association of America – What’s the URL?
by Jim Harper on December 9, 2008 · 7 comments
The AeA and the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) are merging to become the Technology Association of America.
ITAA gobbled up – er, merged with – the Government Electronics and Information Technology Association and the Cyber Security Industry Alliance earlier in the year.
Now, as to the new name: Are they really going to cover all technology? Farm technology? Construction technology? Mining? Watercraft? Plastics? Dental surgery? They seem to have moved from a name (ITAA) too narrow to include the electronics work of AeA to a name that is too broad.
And here’s the important question: . . . What URL? The Texas Apartment Association has the obvious one.
Go, domain speculators! Go!
