Expired names only "have value" because you play and promote the game.
If everyone let them expire, and nobody ever bought a domain from an
auctioneer or hoarder, the whole house of cards would collapse as it
should.
Bullshit, people have been snapping up names for a long time. Some
expired names have value because the type-in traffic they generate can
be monetized. As a matter of fact, people have been using tucows batch
registration to grab deleting names for a long time. Tucows is way
behind the curve on this.
There is plenty of time for a domain to be renewed. The problem is when
companies like Networksolutions.com, domainregistry.com or pacnames.com
take advantage and refuse to let a domain be transfered or renewed. That
doesn't make the entire process corrupt.
Pool was the industry leader until they rigged the process, started
grabbing names and guess what, people stopped using them. Now they've
returned to a more open method.
Would you register a name at networksoultions.com or pacnames.com ??
If tucows can get their act together and run a honest auction, they can
still catch up and dominate the after market.
