Subsequently, the globe.com sold out to Labitrav LLC which then changed its corporate name to Labigroup Holdings LLC.
All of these recent changes at .TRAVEL are just paper shuffling, since these companies are all controlled by the same guy, Michael Egan, who made a lot of money in the car rental business and has been losing it on a bunch of impressively bad Internet businesses ever since. I think that theglobe.com, which ejected Tralliance seconds before it went down the drain still holds the record for the largest CAN SPAM fine ever paid for illegal spamming. I agree that Tralliance needs some serious supervision from ICANN. In my personal experience, when I registered airinfo.travel for my little air ticket web site, one of their salesmen immediately wrote and tried to upsell me a bunch of other domains including skyauction.travel, an obvious squat.
