There are a few .net and .org dictionary domains still unregistered.
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.
