I also note that keywords such as "pointless product", "crap realnames"
and (somewhat more rude) variations of the same have not been reserved
or blocked by RealNames. If it didn't cost actual money I'd be tempted
to register a couple for them... 
It never ceases to amaze me that people will create business models around
selling products that should be worth nothing...

You mean companies like Network Solutions, nee Verisign? What did NSI do
before they got the NSF contract way back when? Did they actually have a
line of business that did not rely on the registry, at some point in the
distant past (prior to the Chixulub impact)? Or was the company formed just
to service and exploit the NSF contract?

Computers hate being anthropomorphized.
They were a small government contracting company (belt-way bandit for those in
the Washington DC area) with contracts having to do with the running of IBM MVS
data centers. The NSF contract was "won" like any other. I am sure there are
reading of this list that could supply more (ancient) history.
