Blue BlueHeronMedia.com owned it first and <i>then</i> it was taken over by the Russian scalpers - I don't believe Tampa or Hillsborough government ever owned it directly. After the Ruskies had it, it was somehow ceded to BuyDomains.Com where one can presumably haggle the price today. I've inadvertantly built the brand name "Tampa Rail" up all these years and the dude at BuyDomains.com knows it now, so it's not likely to go cheap any time soon. Well, as cheap as the GoDaddy rates I mean. Actually, there’s a slight discrepancy in the history above.

Fortunately Network Solutions, however overpriced they are in general, thankfully extended the expiration date unitl my new card *finally* arrived. I had a similar streak of benevolence with hartrail.org/net/com, which is what Tampa's rail system would have been called. I wrote to Sharon Dent via e-mail that Hartline needed to cap those domains since rail opponents might do so. I received a personal one-line e-mail from Sharon Dent herself saying they would do so "straight away". So, today Hartline owns all variations of that -- though I wonder now if they regionalize, if that will ever matter.
