Public and SMEs

Public and SMEs, The Real Impact of Nominet’s Policies.

Behind every policy decision, there are people affected. UK SMEs, entrepreneurs, and individuals rely on fair access to domains to build their businesses and establish their presence online. Yet many find themselves locked out, undermined, or forced to compete on an uneven playing field.

This section is dedicated to testimonies, case studies, and evidence of the real-world impact of Nominet’s actions and inactions. From start-ups denied fair access to key domains, to individuals faced with opaque dispute procedures, the stories presented here expose how the decisions of a single organisation can harm innovation and opportunity.

The audit is not abstract. It is about accountability for harm already done to real businesses and people. SMEs form the backbone of the UK economy. Their interests must be protected against monopolistic behaviour, conflicts of interest, and systemic bias. Their voices will be heard here.
