Just created it yesterday. I don't think there's as much incentive to squat on the S3 namespace like there is for domain names.

Yeah, a bucket name isn't the face of your company.

At a previous company I worked at, every bucket had the company name prefixed. Never had a problem with squatters.

I wonder if Amazon actually has any policies to prevent squatting.
