Pool.com to Auction 2 Character .Biz Domains
On the heels of the recent 1 character .biz domain and 2 character .de domain auctions at Sedo, domain auction house Pool.com announced yesterday that they have teamed up with Neustar to auction off more than 1000 two character .biz domains. The domains will be made available in a phased release beginning November 30, 2009 through February 2010. Two character domains, which were previously unavailable, include names like PC.Biz, IT.biz and IP.biz. A full list of the domains to be auctioned can be found at the site TwoDotBiz.Biz
Neustar’s Tim Switzer stated:
We are very pleased to be working with Pool.com to make a short, memorable alternative available. The demand we experienced during the release of one-character .BIZ domain names validated the attractiveness of the .BIZ brand. There are many companies with long company names, and others who have names that are difficult to spell or remember
Neustar sold over $360,000 worth of 1 character domains through the Sedo during the October auction.

Dot biz never really took off. It will be interesting to see if anyone will actually waste their money on these names.
