Live Current Media, previously known as Communicate.com, has partnered with the newly created DLF Indian Premier League to build their official website, IPLT20.com. Live Current has agreed to be the cricket league’s exclusive online content provider for the next 10 years, signifying their first cricket-related relationship for the company, who owns the premium domain Cricket.com. Live Current plans to build and launch Cricket.com, as the sport’s global hub, in the future.

“Our team…is set on creating the most interactive environment for cricket fans worldwide to engage in the world of Indian cricket from wherever they live,” said Geoffrey Hampson, CEO and Chairman of Live Current Media. “The relationship is very strategic for us as we build a world class sports media business to serve the immense fan base for cricket.”

IPL⃤.com will be the league’s official website dedicated to providing up to the minute content including audio-visual, photographs, live scoreboards and summaries, match results, fantasy games, relevant interviews, player profiles, team schedules, league statistics, ticket information, and more.

Live Current is well known for their large domain portfolio - including Perfume.com, Cricket.com, Call.com, Karate.com, Body.com, Brazil.com, and Canadian.com - and interest in developing their premium names into high quality online destinations.

They recently launched Brazil.com as an online travel destination and are focussed on making Cricket.com an interactive experience for fans of the sport. It wasn’t too long ago that Cricket.com was being monetized as a pay per click site with ads for Cricket brand cell phones.

Live Current is also developing the official site for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The BCCI site will be a destination for 1 billion cricket fans in India to get in-depth information about players and teams.

Communicate.com, a public Canadian company with high-end domains in their portfolio such as Perfume.com and Boxing.com, recently announced they have regained total control of a portfolio of key travel/destination domains such as Brazil.com, Indonesia.com, Malaysia.com, Canadian.com, and GreatBritain.com from FrequentTraveller.com Inc. (FT). FT is a private company incorporated in Nevada. The company also announced it has terminated its 2005 domain name lease agreement with FT and has returned its 50.4% ownership interest in FT.

Communicate.com’s relationship with FT dates back to 2003 when Communicate.com originally purchased 71% of FT and began an agreement for FT to develop out these country and travel portals. Earlier SEC filings show that FT was owned by Domain Name Holdings, Inc. (DHI), a Canadian corporation, who incidentally was also acquired by Communicate.com beginning in November of 2000. Of importance here is the fact that DHI was the original owner of the portfolio of domains (including those mentioned above).

From a Company Release :

Communicate.com Inc. (OTC BB:CMNN.OB - News), a rapidly evolving Internet commerce and media company, today announced that it has acquired all of the tangible and intangible assets associated or used in connection with the operations of FrequentTraveller.com Inc. (”FT”), including the full use of the domain names FrequentTraveller.com, FrequentTraveler.com, Brazil.com, Indonesia.com, Malaysia.com, Canadian.com and GreatBritain.com. Communicate.com has also terminated its 2005 domain name lease agreement with FT that granted FT the travel sales and marketing rights for Communicate’s online country and destination URLs
