It's probably going to be more like 3000 names that they will
challenge (total cost $225,000 if they do win the challenges)If you are worried
about Afilias recovering their expenses, don't because they stand to make loads of
cash during LR-2..
They have just tipped their hand by leading at least one registrar
to believe that they can start purging their queues of all the names that have already
been registered during SunRise.
This again points to the fact that LR-2 will be
a brand new game and most likely will be structured as a lottery.
