NYON, Switzerland, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- America.com is Officially up for Grabs!
Will America embrace the best domain name or will it fall into the hands
of another country? We will soon find out, as this potential record-breaking

"We have already had an amazing amount of interest from corporations and
investors around the world," says Paolo Belcastro, Director of IMC. "This is

never be sold again."
Several international industry experts, have valued the domain in the
