If pool or a big company like that is made accountable once - They will act responsibly.
Or driven out of business...
Actually, earlier airtel.in (official web-site of company airtel) didn't own airtel.com. Vodafone owned it.
so, Vodafone is dropping it.
who knows the reason?
Interesting, isn't it ? Vodafone have a EU trademark too. Perhaps they no longer need it and are dropping the name because of possible confusion with the Indian telco.
We have yet to see who is going to get the name and how it will be put to use, but I could see a repeat of porsche.me: expensive auction, one sucker outbids everyone else, UDRP a few weeks later, and tens of thousands $$$ down the drain.

Pool.com is one of the worst offenders. Their featured deleting domains on their home page are littered with TM issues daily. It is one thing to have TM issues in the hundreds of thousands of domains deleting daily, it is another thing to highlight those on your homepage.
It's not their fault
They are just showing names that get backorders.
But for some reason the trademark holders are not satisfied with that line of thinking.
Go figure.
