Google withdrew their application for the .talk TLD in July 2014 after an assumed private deal or auction that left Amazon as the only applicant for the string. Amazon also won [[.you]] in the same month against Google, while Google became the sole applicant for [[.dev]] and [[.drive]] after Amazon withdrew.<ref>[http://domainincite.com/17131-amazon-and-google-deal-on-talk-play-drive-and-others Amazon and Google Deal on .talk, .play, .drive and others] Kevin Murphy, 26 July 2014; ''DomainIncite''; Retrieved 01 August 2014</ref>
