I don't know, but if I look at it in a statistical manner, as time goes on fewer and fewer names are likely to drop. At present most of the names dropping now are the ones purchased during "the Bubble". When individuals are unable to sell the names they thought would bring them thousands of dollars and do not want to shell out the cash to renew, they let them expire, so a speculators steps in and grab them as they drop. A speculator is not likely to let them drop a second time. Therefore, since there is really a fixed number of names that can realistically be resold for a profit, the number of quality "re-sellable" dropped names will shrink year after year. Now factor in the potential buyers. Since major corporations and established businesses have the name or names they want. It seems reasonable that only start up ventures would be the only ones interested in purchasing a dropped domain name. With the current state of the world economy and the lack of start up investment capital available for internet ventures, I doubt any large amount of money will be paid for any name, ever. Therefore, I do not believe NSI will be able to make any profit from a "WLS". If one takes the time to research NSI, they will find their numbers really suck, this is validated by the current price of the stock. They now also have severe credibility problems in the investment community. There only answer to boost the bottom line seems to be to find new ways to collect fees. Their history indicate that they will price the WLS "out of business" and eventually the WLS will go away. I can see NSI charging 200.00 to 300.00 for a name. I mean really, what registrar has the balls to charge 200.00 for a 48 hour transfer and purposely make it impossible to do a alternative normal transfer. What would you pay for a WLS slot?
