Skype Deleted

I spent part of my lunch break today checking the IE deleted list.
As usual there’s a very mixed bag of domains in there. There’s some really nice generics (ie. one word domains) that would never be dropped in a gTLD.
One that caught my eye is skype.ie. This was previously registered to a company other than Skype. I mentioned the co.uk challenge to skype.co.uk, and while there was no open challenge to the skype.ie registration I can imagine how it would have panned out.
If you want to browse the deleted IEs have a look here
