At one point domain names were actually free. Network Solutions (which held a monopoly over the registration services at the time) managed to get approval to charge for the names (even though they received US$2 million funding from the National Science Foundation). So a lot of the google names were registered for nothing. They still had to pay renewel fees over time.
I sometimes still wish they were free!:p I find it pretty difficult. I just started a new forum and found out a had to add an extra word like "place" or "lounge" for it to be available.
