Cricket.com to remain with current owners.
Wireless company Cricket Communications has dismissed with prejudice a lawsuit it brought against the owners of Cricket.com.
Cricket Communications sued Global Cricket Ventures alleging that the site about the cricket sport was merely a coverup to show ads related to wireless phones. The mobile phone company said that Global Cricket Ventures had hardcoded a Cricket Wireless logo onto its site to look like it was merely part of a third party banner.
Cricket.com changed after the lawsuit was filed. All ads related to mobile phones were removed.
Cricket Communications filed a court document in July saying that it was in settlement negotiations with Global Cricket Ventures.

i see a MyCricket.com ad on the home page now. Perhaps they settled for some advertising agreement?
Andrew Allemann says
George, where specifically are you seeing that? I’m viewing from the UK right now and don’t see it anywhere.

Yes, there must be an agreement between cricket wireless and cricket ventures that to show wireless ads on the site. see the screen shot : http://i.imgur.com/6E412.jpg
i am viewing from sri lanka. cricket wireless ads are not relevant to this part of the world. only cricket game matters. the ad seems now hard coded in to the site and not served by google.
