All .info domains registered on behalf of the .com domain owners - without the owners knowledge. If the owner takes no steps to formally activate them, they expire in 45 days.
EDIT: Sipence ia actually a division of enom - not just a registrar affiliated with them.

It's not that much. When companies do this, they do custom deals we can't get. There's no way they paid regular prices.

Probably didn't cost them a thing. .info domains were not taking off as expected so enom made some deal with the .info tld people - the domains are only temporary - not initially for a full year, and would probably lead to increased .info usage as people did activate them for the full year. some number of the activaters will re-subscribe to the domain next year.
