never trust this kind of news...it just fake in my opinion..if someone really crazy buying this name for 100k, I can only say this is a crazy man..

CCTV.com have lots of set programmes, if CCTV-1 need 100k, how about CCTV-2...CCTV-15?? how about its same version of .com .com.cn .cn?

not all people just "smart" like that reporter in local newspaper...the owner of domain phone the newspaper and report the "record" is the fact we heard and read..no other evidence..

I could hardly believe this when I heard it. Someone buys an IDN, with HYPHENS, and the .net version, for $100k and then gives it to the authorities for FREE?!?

Seriously, even rich rich people like Bill Gates or whomever don't bother doing that, since it's obviously dumb and a waste of money.

This is probably just to grab attention to the site or whatever.

Google Translation

According to the "Shanghai Youth Daily" reported : because that "a central" are trademarks of condoms rush to register for the mock Yang Shi, recently, a Shanghai people Charles "hit" of the purchase price of 100,000 U.S. dollars "at. Yang Shi another. Net "domain names. And yesterday morning, Mr Ho call this newspaper that he wanted to be presented to the domain name free of charge Yang Shi. I think Mr Ho This commendable. As domain names senior lovers, I expressed doubts, why not buy "site. Yang Shi another. Com ", and spend 80 million yuan to buy a lot of value. Net? Through domain name registration information enquiries was informed that the original "Yang Shi another. Com "Back in the rush to register on July 30, and that 800,000 yuan recovered. Net domain names Charles two days later, on August 1 million network in China only registered "at. Yang Shi another. Net. " To draw media attention, claiming that the recovery from the hands of foreigners, and free donated Yang Shi, we were confused to this rhetoric. Charles domain name registration date is August 1, the domain name renewal date is the last day of information, since this domain name has been registered till now over. I think Mr Ho to do so, he is afraid to spend a few hundred pieces of the domain name registration Nobody concern with this approach is to deceive the media and deceiving users, and access to all of his domain name concerns. Spend several hundred dollars to follow the trend reported by the media, the press, a television, a name, really earned. Mr Ho is indeed rush to register the domain name of one of the most astute.


And Now the Systrans Version:

According to "the Shanghai Youths Reports" reported that, Because
thought "the central set" is snatched the note for the condom
trademark is to CCTV'S teasing under, recently, a Shanghai resident
Mr. He "pounded" next 100,000 US dollars to buy at a high price "www.
A CCTV set net "domain name. But yesterday morning, Mr. He sent a
telegram this repays a kindness suitably, he wanted free to bestow
this domain name for CCTV. Why do I recognize gentleman this act to be
worth praising. As the domain name senior amateur, I expressed
regarding this the question, why doesn't buy "www. A CCTV set com ",
but spend 800,000 Yuan large amounts of money to buy the value to
differ many NET? Knew through the domain name registration information
inquiry that, originally "a CCTV set com" on is as early as snatched
in July 30 the note, but expressed 800,000 Yuan took back NET domain
name Mr. He to be late two days, on August 1 in Chinese Wan Wangcai
registered "www. A CCTV set net ". In order to arouse the media
interest, declared takes back from the foreign manpower, and free
donates CCTV, we for are confused by this honeyed words. Mr. He
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=224060
registers the domain name date is on August 1, the domain name
material last modified date also is the same day, this domain name has
not always reformed from the registration to the present. Why do I
recognize gentleman to do this, is feared oneself spend several
hundred registrations the domain name nobody attention, only then uses
this countermeasure to deceive the media, deceit 网友, obtains
everybody to him and the domain name attention. The flowered several
hundred Yuan were reported by the media with the wind that, on the
news, on the television, had become famous, really was gains. Mr. He
worthily is the domain name snatches note to be most astute one.
