Hi Peacelover - I imagine that when a company registers a domain site - it is a careful balancing act. On the one hand - they want to lock up sites before the name is owned by another entity. On the other hand - using a name like KODAK in the domain site suggests (at least to me) that there is a deal in the works. And the company would never want to blow the deal by locking up the domain site prematurely only to see the deal killed before things got off the ground. I would venture to guess that KODAK must have given it's approval in some form to TSIG for TSIG's use of the word KODAK.

Thought you may find the followng article interesting. It shows that there is big money involved with the domain registration business...

wired.com

An excerpt: "When the Tuvalu Top-Level Domain Task Force picked three finalists in July, Zentaro Ohashi's bid wasn't among them. Neither was Joseph Kim's. But NetNames, offering a revenue split that could bring
$150 million to Tuvalu over the next decade, made the cut. So did another UK firm, Ixtel. The big buzz, though, surrounded Canada's Information.CA, which promised $50 million in advance for the
contract."

Regards,

Phil
