Karl, I think you are missing the point. True, many domain names have already been taken, and it will be hard to find a .com address for a simple word or phrase, however, the future of domain registry is heading in a very different direction. Not only will people be registering their businesses, but their names, their kids names, their towns, streets, schools, churches, clubs, sports teams, etc. You name it. And visionaries see all of our household appliances having their own domains so that they can be controlled via internet from anywhere. And think about businesses that may want to register equipment or parts. For example, a General Motors transmission could be www.GM-part33453.com. They could provide online manuals, information, whatever. That is where the future of domain registry is, and it doesn't require a domain name that reads well or makes any verbal sense. Experts say there are 10 billion possible domains. Do the math on that and you'll see that Network Solutions is in an unreal position, regardless of competition. Hopefully, people won't panic and sell because of Assensios absurd rants. That's exactly what he wants you to do. Either way, institutions know better, and fundamentals always win in the long run. Good luck and hold on to your shares, you shall be rewarded. Don't be short sighted here.
