This is very true.  Even when things aren't gobbled up as trade names,
domains tend to be viciously hoarded.

True, but Akamai is a "web economy"-oriented company.  These kinds of
names are more kosher in hyper-caffinated, Hawaiian shirt-wearing
Silicon Valley "Web 2.0" market spaces.  Eccentric, eclectic and
unusual-sounding names derived from foreign words, including from
African and far Eastern or Pacific indigenous languages or locales,
have grown to be accepted and fashionable in the web startup world.

The telecom world, on the other hand, is mostly full of polished,
slicked-back, surly (or alternately, oily) conservative types in the
executive and managerial corps, generally of the 40+ age demographic.
Their lexicon and buzzword bingo formula is very different -- one into
which "OpenSER" fits quite nicely.
