 Send to email | Live Current Pays $50 Million For Cricket, But No Games in CMNN |  By Silicon

 The onetime domain squatter formerly known as Communicate.com (CMNN) is paying some big money to build a business around one of its addresses. The company, which has changing its name to Live Current Media, owns 800-some domains, including cricket.com. And now it's just paid $50 million over 10 years for the right to build official sites for India's pro cricket league.
The Vancouver-based firm inked a deal for the right to develop official Web sites for the Board of Control for Cricket In India, and the DLF Indian Premier League. It's a revenue-sharing deal that guarantees payments of at least $3 million to BCCI and $2 million to the Indian Premier League each year, including a percentage of advertising, sponsorship and merchandise sales. The first site, IPLT20.com, launches Friday, the first day of India's 44-day cricket season.
Keep in mind, this is is for the rights to photos, scores, play-by-play and other content--but not the actual games. Those rights are held by Willow.tv in North America, which sells on-demand and live video of games for $59 for 59 games.

The big question: How many Macs did Apple sell? The Street expects sales of 2.0 million, but we've seen estimates as high as 2.2 million (RBC's Mike Abramsky) and whisper numbers up to 2.3 million. Anything
below 2.0 million would be disappointing. But anything over 2.1 million
