CNET has always been known to be the owner of several extremely valuable domain names, I would even go so far to say that domains such as News.com, TV.com, Com.com, Search.com are invaluable. This is, in my humble opinion, one of the smartest acquisitions I have ever seen. The value of the .com brand names involved in this trade is amazing.
