DOTD's:

"VERISIGNTELECOM.COM"
"AFILIASNETWORK.COM"

Unable to check who previously owned either of these domain names, I'm left wondering if this means that we might start seeing some true focus from registry operators. Needless to say, given that Verisign still has a multi-million dollar telecom goat to swallow, I'm more inclined to think that both of these names belonged to a squatter that didn't want to pony up the $$6.95. Given some recent sales numbers that I've seen, this wouldn't surprise me.
