It seems very odd that any company would just invest a lot of money on a short term plan. You'd think they would have held onto the names for a couple of years...

All the 4 letter .coms were registered in the fall of 2000. Therefore, it seems to me that their registration fee would have been due around the time of the 9/11 bomibing of 2001. Perhaps the sudden downfall of the stock market and market instability was more of a reason for the drop of the 4 letter .coms than the lack of domain buyers.
