the thoughts of single letter .com ownership, makes the smile on my face oh so bright.
dreaming of that one letter domain that i may have
while holding my pillow tight
companies have already tried to trademark single letters, in an attempt to make claims, should 1 letter.com's be released.
particularly Yahoo Overstock and maybe Oprah

single letter domains won't be released until ICANN decides how to go about the process. Of course, they could just release them like regular domains, but that wouldn't be fun...
I'm thinking an auction spanning several months, with proxy bids and major corporations strong arming the competition... Anyone else having fun...? Guess not...

Even if the single letter domains go to auction, Yahoo's previous actions will ensure that they will pick up y.com for a song. Most single letters as a guesstimate will go for 7 figures, but Y.com will only go as high as 5 figures at a guess, that's of course if there is someone out there prepared to risk their capital going after the name.
They can try to Trademark anything they want.....it doesn't mean they have the right to y.com the domain name. It would go for much more than 5 figures even if Yahoo publicly stated they would go after the name in a dispute.
