Watching CNN, there was an often displayed ad for the Intercontinental bank from Nigeria. From what I checked an actual bank and not part of the Nigerian scams which they actually warn for on their homepage. Their domain name unfortunately is intercontinentalbankplc.com. In this case owning their own name as a domain would definitely help with their trustworthiness I was on holiday last week and one of the added perks was that I could watch tv channels beyond the Chinese CCTV boredom.

They also use "Air Portugal". "tap.com" is taken by a pharmaceutical company and "airportugal.com" is parked, and also "tapairlines.com". The had to use "flytap.com". How much will they pay for this stupid mistake? We'll never know. <strong>@jorge</strong>: <em>TAP pharmaceutical was very progressive when it started, so no surprise they got and held on to TAP.com. But now that the brand assets are revering to <a href="http://www.tap.com">Takeda</a>, maybe TAP should be pursuing the domain? (No, that's not an earthquake. That's the sound of hundreds of domain brokers running to call Takeda). Then again, if TAP Airlines hasn't got the guts to buy tapairlines.com or even airportugal.com from domain investors, I doubt they will pony up for TAP.com. <strong>There's an idea... </strong>a domain broker should build that portfolio and package it as a can't resist package for TAP airlines. </em> After reading this I checked our own airline here in Portugal, “TAP”.
