Large businesses continue to show that they do not or cannot use their dot-brand domains. Last week two more companies notified ICANN that they wanted to cancel the contracts to manage their delegated domain names. Both are insurance companies. It looks like one of them, Esurance, tried to make use of its domain name but failed: in addition to the mandatory nic.esurance, the only .esurance page registered is homeowners.esurance, which only forwards to a page on esurance.com.</p>

The second company, Scor, clearly did not even attempt to use its domain: according to Domain Name Wire, the obligatory nic.scor remained the only .scor domain name. Thus, the number of dropped dot-brand domains continues to grow and has reached 71.</p>
