Not necessarily. We've called <name> and have <name>.co.uk, as we're  
international we also took <name>.com. Now another company in Spain is  
also called <name> and do something completely different to us, they  
missed out on the .com and ended up with .com.es. We don't want their name  
and they haven't offered to buy ours from us, we did use to get their  
email from time to time when we had a catchall address though.
