Domain attorney Ari Goldberger featured in NBC Miami story regarding expired MiamiPolice.com domain

Goldberger featured in TV news story regarding MiamiPolice.com.

Domain name attorney Ari Goldberger of ESQwire.com was featured in an NBC Miami story the prior week regarding MiamiPolice.com.

The Miami Police let the domain name expire a couple years ago and it was picked up by someone who now parks the domain with DomainSponsor. While I’m not sure why NBC Miami just did this story now (slow news week for the holidays?), it’s good to see Goldberger was interviewed for the story.

It turns out the Miami Police only owned the domain for a short time and never really used it, favoring their official web site Miami-Police.org. So they decided it wasn’t worth the $35 to renew the domain name.

The story reads:

Police spokesman Delrish Moss underscored that not having miamipolice.com does not affect police services at all, and that a modest purchase here and a modest purchase there adds up in times of severe budget crunches.

That’s the government at work.

(As a side note, does anyone think the reporter in this story resembles ICANN CEO Rod Beckstrom?)
