so I'd go for
www.nthellcommunitly.com

In any case, the example I gave was a little wide of the mark. Lets say instead that Asda announced a home shopping service that there were going to call "Asda 2 You". If I went and registered asda2you.com after this announcement, then I wouldn't be entitled to the domain, regardless of the content.

Fair enough, but community.ntl.com is a different address to
www.ntlcommunity.com

Are you really saying you would have allowed NTL to take you to court? Why such a fuss over what was effectively a dead domain anyway?

Kind of, I'm saying if I had the domain, I'd have used it to help customers. Whenever ntl want to close / buy me out I'd fight with every last penny. I'd also see that it got maximum publicity.
