The blog says it all though, if it isn't your main business model then you're not going to loose money just to offer cheap prices, for something that brings in ultra small profit when you have competitors like GoDaddy.
It seems Yahoo want to move out of domain and hosting business, may be they are thinking they can do better in other areas of business, instead of competing with companies like Godaddy.
