GMail Going the Way of MediaOne.net?

Recently I wrote about the canceling of the use of domain names by Internet providers, sending their users into a tailspin to change their email address and notify all of their contacts of the change.  Now it seems like Google may be the next to do so.

The search giant lost the trademark rights to the GMail name in the UK, and the company that won the case is now taking the case to the US.  This article on the GMail trademark case outlines much of the detail that led to Google losing the case.

Yet another reason to own your own domain name!
