Did Someone Let Cm.com Drop and Who Owns It?

Posted on the 07 February 2014 by Worldwide @thedomains

The rare two letter domain name Cm.com appears to have dropped back 2013.

The last record for the domain according to DomainTools.com is from May 2013:

Record Date: 2013-05-01
Registrar: DOMAIN.COM, LLC
Server: whois.domain.com
Created: 1997-05-20
Updated: 2013-04-28
Expires: 2020-05-21

Can’t get information on local domain CM.COM”"

According to Screenshots.com the domain was in use as a parking page most recently back in December 2010.

Unlike other two letter domain names that recently dropped like hd.tv, the registry is not showing as having the domain name reserved.

Here is how the whois record of Hd.tv looks:

However the domain name cannot be registered:

The registrant of this domain appears to be a  Satoshi Shimoshita of ,Koto-ku Tokyo who may have owned the domain since 1997 before allowing the domain to drop.

Not sure what the deal is.

Have no idea how someone can let a two letter domain name drop.

I also have no idea of how come the domain is not showing this as a reserved domain name.
