I'll begin running a new site/service with a certain name let us call it for example CompanyX.

I wanted to create a blog a couple of years ago with the name CompanyX.wordpress.com however I saw it was taken.

Two years have passed and the blog CompanyX.wordpress.com hasn't been public and used and is a private blog.

1) Is there a way I can contact the person behind CompanyX.wordpress.com?
2) Does this mean that this person will have CompanyX.wordpress.com indefinitely even if he never uses it?

I have the name CompanyX.com and it is a registered company in the US with the name "CompanyX". Does this mean I can have any control over CompanyX.wordpress.com if the other person isn't using it?

Thank you
