This is EXACTLY what the secondary market participants are doing
right now. The secondary market has evolved well away from buying names for
resale (although this certainly does happen and in large numbers) and
towards capturing large pools of names and monetizing the latent traffic. The traffic occurs from either misspellings or from names
that used to have traffic and/or inbound links and were not renewed.
The big difference, though, is that those secondary market participants are:
1. Actually PAYING for the domain name: Verisign registry proposes they get EVERY unregistered domain name for FREE. 2. Subject to UDRP. By not registering the domains, Verisign registry isn't subject to UDRP.
When you misdial a 1-800 number, does Neustar or your phone company play a jingle for your competitors?
Sincerely,
