OK, I will modify my statement to be that it was established to provide
mappings between names and generic resources (which might not be traditionally
thought of as network resources).  However the intent was to provide a
reference to something else that someone might use.  Cybersquatters wish only
to resell the domain name.  I'm not badmouthing them; just pointing out that
the intent of their registrations is different than what was traditionally
done.
