If they can redirect to their own Site Finder site, I'm sure they can redirect to other large corporations, who would probably pay for that kind of service. Buy this service, user types www.coke-soft-drink.com, and gets redirected automatically to www.coke.com. Corporations now have a much broader reach then yesterday. They'd make a deal on the trademark thing, if there is one. Kenny __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search http://shopping.yahoo.com
