Well there are more examples like this - for example Indiatimes.com - has registered
itimes.in
itimes.net.in
itimes.co.in and so on... (lost itimes.net to someone else - and I am not sure if they are following that up to recover that name) - itimes.us is still available go out and get it guys!!!

Also interesting to note is that they prefer Indiatimes.com over indiatimes.co.in (registered with them)
and also registered domains are
indiatimes.in
indiatimes.org.in
indiatimes.co.in

Cheers
