That is actually very much NOT true (with Network Solutions/Verisign).
For about 2 years now, they have been hoarding domain names as they expire,
planning to auction them off someday. There are *many* domains that
expired years ago that NetSol/Verisign has.
The rumor is that you can gamble the $60 at SnapNames to get the domain --
but they've got a great racket going. You pay them $60, and they don't
even have to give you the name!
