Back in 2000, two software companies moving quite right name, and Software.com Phone.com, in a mixture $ 6.4 billion, and it has been Openwave Systems. The new name was courteous and insignificant - it is now. (Although versteh I was not wrong, the company is very much in order and, in fact, does not sell its Musiwave Microsoft Corporation for $ 46 million). But Openwave attended only to Software.com Phone.com, and the name and URL of the year, does nothing more with them as a diversion of traffic on the corporate Web site.
Almost two years, and it sells names WashingtonVC and Internet Real Estate Group (which also owns Chocolate.com, Jeans.com, Sweepstakes.com, Relationship.com, Consultants.com, Patents.com and others) . The Internet Real Estate Group is a holding company domain, page creation real areas of the most precious. He had onset of beer.com results they bought the 1998 by a 21 year old for $ 80000 (lets keep 20% of the shares), and they sell three months later for $ 7 million.

It is more of Internet telephony products will soon compete with Jajahs and Jangls the world. And with the name of Phone.com, he did not need much money for marketing. Indeed, given that the service of the end of September, zero for advertising. That will soon change, but 10000 people a month only by the nature of the only in the transport sector. Add search engine optimization, and the name quite markets.
