I love it! Optus.com redirected to TPG DSL signup page. Is TPG involved I wonder or is this guy just anti-Optus.... This is classic. Says he has had it since 1995. or .. Atleast its been registered since then. How can Optus NOT want to protect their interests in this domain. The guy even lives in .au. quite funny. His link includes a dealer code of 'VXNET' which is obviously passed to TPG's systems... So many he is using the OPTUS name to make some cash.... Fun while it lasted I guess ;-) Destination: https://cyberstore.tpg.com.au/register_renew/adsl_registeronline.php?dea ler=VXNET done at the 302 server level.

I registered the domain inokia.net around two years ago, six weeks after the registration (without even delegating the domain) I had a letter from Nokia's solicitors in Finland with a threat to sue me. WHOIS details below, quite interesting.
