Genty considers domain names to be digital serial numbers, thus giving great interest to what he calls digital urbanism. For Genty, the registries have diverted domain names from their primary function, creating value and removing any identification-trust function. Who is behind [LECLERC.FR LECLERC.FR], [TACO.COM TACO.COM] or [NISSAN.COM NISSAN.COM] ? No one can know that now.

Genty considers domain names to be digital serial numbers, thus giving great interest to what he calls digital urbanism. For Genty, the registries have diverted domain names from their primary function, creating value and removing any identification-trust function. He illustrates this situation through three domain names that he considers emblematic: TACO.COM<ref>TACO.COM</ref>, NISSAN.COM<ref>NISSAN.COM</ref> and LECLERC.FR<ref>http://www.LECLERC.FR</ref>.
    
Genty compares these developments with [[vanity plates]], [[vanity numbers]] and [[Amateur radio call signs]].
