Verisign and Wait List Service
A not-flattering article on Verisign's Wait List Service via The Register. As mentioned here earlier in a piece about the skeletons of domain names, the Register article points out that a lot of the demand for expired domain names stems from a desire to utilize the pre-existing network of links and bookmarks to the domain name, a network that becomes obsolete (and mis-leading) when ownership of the domain name changes hands.
