                                            Sedo scheduled three auctions of short
                                            .AT domain names this month. Our
                                            report on results from the first one
                                            is here
                                            and the second one just ended Monday
                                            (November 22) with another
                                            impressive list of sales. .AT is Austria's
                                            official ccTLD but, unlike
                                            some country code domains, .AT names
                                            can be purchased by anyone.  Sedo
                                            said thousands of bids came in from
                                            around the world on nearly 400 domains
                                            in the latest  auction. The top
