They need to slim down there overheads to reamin to make profits during the downturn. What I dont get is we never see or hear of them developing there domains. Marchex owns hundreds of thousands of names and I would say they could generate more cash actually developing some of these names instead of parking.

For development and technology, much of this is outsourced, but it keeps costs down. It seems to me that many of the successful domain companies are very small and have less overhead.
