Nope, doesn't work . . .
. . . unless you have a legit business with reason to be using domain names like that or ICANN's arbitration folks will just take them away from you. Sorry, it's a lot more work than you'd like, and you have to have the finances to withstand a few lawsuites along the way.

Re: Nope, doesn't work . . .
Whatever happened to domain name squatters? Did anyone really make significant money from that?

Yes, but the big bucks are tough now . .
It now goes to a court of no (or little) appeal. If you are judged to have taken a domain name that is a trade name or for some other reason obviously (or even not so obviously) infringes on someone else, you lose it.
A generic name that just happens to be a great name for some particular type of business you can still do and can make good money on (someone sold one for big bucka a few weeks ago but I forget what it was). That's a tougher game to play, though.

I usedta know the guy who owned "tele.com", Julian Macassey.
IIRC.
Well, "know" might be too strong a word; he used to hang out in alt.peeves a few years back, and we exchanged an email or two.
Dunno if he still has the domain, or let it lapse, or if he was the one the Gryge heard about selling it, or whatever.
