BellSouth and SBC bought out YellowPages.com for about $120 million a couple of years ago.  Three years ago, SBC bought out AT&T and then AT&T bought out Bellsouth for $67 billion.  YellowPages became a fully owned AT&T subsidiary after that.

LiveDeal is formerly known as YP Corp. which is why they owned that domain name.  While this is a lot for buying out a domain name, it is only $1 million higher than what Pizza.com was bought for.
