1 million domains. thats US$33 each domain.
4 x times gross earnings. or there about.

I dont know if Verizon feels a bit guilty.

perhaps there traffic spike mid year was caused from typo redirects won out of court. .

Typo traffic is huge huge business, and I’m not surprised that Chinese companies find it a normal way to make money from these things, its been that way for ages and normal mentality. $33m should sink OnlineNic like the Titanic, but it will be interesting to see how Verizon will get the money out of China with all those strict exchange rules.

The lawyers working for Verizon are just parasiting for a living, imho.

“So they sued the registrar, not the registrant? Or was OnlineNic also the registrant?”

Andrew says Onlinenic was both the Registrar and the registrant.
