A Fortune 100 firm’s domain name expires in 11 days

Once again, this firm has cut it close.
In April I wrote regarding how 15 Fortune 100 firms had domain names that expired this year.
It’s now October, and all of the firms have renewed their domains ahead of they expired. Some have cut it close to the wire, and here’s another example.
Lockheed Martin’s LockheedMartin.com domain name expires this month. In just 11 days.
I believe most of the firm uses LMCO.com for email, but this is still a big deal.
Amazingly, it appears that Lockheed only renews this domain name one year at a time. The past couple years it has renewed it with just a few days to go.
Why wouldn’t you renew this domain for ten years? I doubt the annual renewal fee is a big hit to a $41 billion firm.
Three Fortune 500’s have domain names that expire next month, and they all depend greatly on the domains: Metlife.com, Delta.com, and Fedex.com. These firms also renew their key domain just one year at a time.
