Another sale of note is ipad.de for €16,555. Whoever bought this name is sure to run into trouble with Apple. Two-letter name id.tv garnered $5,000 USD and ws.de sold for €5,750.
In other news, VeriSign has predicted that its base of .com and .net names will soon hit 100 million. These registrations have increased as a result of more aggressive renewal marketing on the part of registrars and an improving economy.
