Everywhere in the world, 3 letter, 3 number and 3 character domain names are amongst the most sought after properties on the internet.
The 3 character domains in the .com extension are all either taken or are being registered for future investment by domain name speculators.
We live in a world of supply and demand, and it would make sense that values of these unique names have and will continue to rise in value and in price. Their value stems from their memorability and international suitability. They often serve as marketable acronyms for corporations, although many at present are owned by \'domain speculators\' who have realised the potential value of these domains. Its not just the more popular extensions that have value either, just recently igo.in sold for 1000 Euros, and .in is considered one of the least valueable domain extensions.
