I know that Banks has a 'legal letter of opinion' from their lawyers that basically says government organizations aren't allowed to own .coms, which should protect them. However, the government can change their mind at any time, and Snowe's bill would certainly make owning this domain a problem. Given that they paid around $10 million for it, that would sting. @ Parkquick – yes, I heard that too about the IRS.

I heard that the government wanted to take their IRS.com domain - which should not be allowed! They are publicly traded with ticker symbol BNX, currently 95 cents a share.

ParkingDots was owned by Banks.com, I believe. They've had a rough year. I think their IRS.com site is coming under fire from the government. I saw them doing arbitrage with the IRS.com the other day. Nice report, Leonard. ParkingDots was owned by Banks.com, I believe. They’ve had a rough year.
