When I worked at an ISP we had a lot of landline phone customers too and I'm sure they will continue to for a long time.

At least as long as their current customers keep breathing.

You can run a business off inertia/nostalgia for quite a long time.

People are confused about what I said. Success and Relevance are not the same thing. National Lampoon still has a business too, but I doubt that any of you have seen a new movie of theirs since Van Wilder/Repli-Kate came out in 2002.

A million dollars a year for a domain name is quite a lot. And I know what was paid for the sales of some big (in the keyword marketing/leadgen space) domain names...Sale, not lease.
