I love the idea! We talked about this with our staff 2 years ago but
never got it off to reality.
Kinda like life insurance or investments.
Collect registration fees for enough years in advance from the
registrant, deposit with a solid company like Lloyds of London, renew
the domains from the principal interest payments escrow, then keep the
principal plus hopefully some additional interest indefinitely.
Brilliant business move. At 100 domain years all the deposit needs to
earn is 1% to pay for domain renewals, smartly invested conservative
deposits earm much more than that... Although at the price point THEY
offoer it I am not sure if it will catch on with an average consumer -
but they do have enough eyeballs to make this effort worthwhile...
just my 2cents
