Still a bit of a stretch.  They receive money for registered
domains (and attempted to for unregistered domains) in the .COM
and .NET namespaces.  If you're offering the same, you've done a
very poor job capturing market share. ;)

Although IMHO not related due to differences in service
offerings, this reminds me of Microsoft's argument that, although
Sun and Corel had hardly any market share, they were competitors.
Has there ever been any official ruling on size requirements for
one to be considered competition?
