Here are some squatted names through New.net:
AmericanAirlines.travel
UnitedAirlines.travel
CocaCola.ltd
CocaCola.shop
Priceline.travel
GeneralMotors.inc
Microsoft.inc
Cisco.inc
Mitsubishi.inc
Sothebys.auction
There are many, many more examples. How can big business take them seriously?
IOD has its fair share of squatters too.
Both registries should clean up their acts, deal with the squatters before any next round of TLDs, if they ever want consideration into the USG root.
