Primarily targeted at internal dev and IT teams, http://livedrupalsupport.com is a pay for time live interactive portal for drupal support and seminars.
The goal is to provide your development team with rock solid solutions and consulting for your drupal projects.

We work with your team IN REALT TIME to solve any bugs or issues with your site, and provide recommendations for a wonderful drupal experience.

How Does it Work?
-Using our automated calender reservation system, reserve time in 15minute increments by clicking on a date and selecting the time intervals you would like to reserve

-After you select when you would like support, simply enter your contact information, and any additional data that we may need to assist you. You can also specify your preferred method of contact.

-Once you confirm and pay (paypal) for your slot, you will be sent an email with a direct link to our support system. When it time for your slot, we will contact you, or you can simply go to http://livedrupalsupport.com and click on the live support button..we will be there waiting. If your particular issue will take more time to fix than your budgeted time, we will estimate the total time it will take so you can decide on how to proceed. In addition, we also offer live webinars on various topics related to drupal. These are "pay-per-slot" events that take the form of live chat with whiteboard and desktop sharing. The cool thing is that you can download a video of the event you just attended!

The Story
I started developing drupal sites in 2004, and have been exposed to so many facets of drupal that its impossible to list. Solving issues became like target practice..dare we say fun. So I decided to take it to the next level and livedrupalsupport.com was born.

Seems like an interesting idea. Did you get permission to use the word Drupal in the domain name?

http://drupal.com/trademark has details on how to do that.

actually i didnt realize i had to, but i will take the necessary steps to do that...from what it looks like i should qualify for automatic:

The Drupal trademark is used in a domain name, title of website, title of a seminar, title of a course or title of a software package that is either exclusively intended to foster the Drupal software, or also mentions your trademark (or your trade name, name of your company, name of your organization, or name of your association).
Example uses for which you receive an automatic license:
a course entitled "Acme's Drupal Gold Course" or "Acme's Drupal Certification Course" or "Acme's Learn to Code in Drupal ";
a domain name that is used for commercial purposes and is entitled "drupalacme.com" or "commonusesofdrupal.acme.com";
a domain name that is exclusively intended to foster Drupal use, and is entitled "drupalusersgroupcalifornia.org" or "drupalunofficialfaq.com";
an open source plugin to connect Acme's SQL-server to the Drupal software;
a commercial plugin to connect Acme's SQL-server to the Drupal software, called "Acme's SQL plugin for Drupal";
a Drupal course entitled "Drupal 6" that is taught at a university;
a free Drupal seminar entitled "Creating websites with Drupal", organized by a local non-profit organization
Example uses for which the license grant procedure must be followed:
a commercial website hosted under domain name "commonusesofdrupal.com";
a commercial course entitled "Drupal Newbies Course 2009".

http://livedrupalsupport.com won't get an automatic license, because the meaning of the name does not contain a clear trademark that is different from that of the Drupal Association. It is therefore obvious that people might think that the service is noncommercial and provided exclusively to foster the Drupal use. If you read the trademark page well, you'll see what is required.

Maybe you didn't fully read the passage you quoted. Here is the section which says:

Example uses for which the license grant procedure must be followed

And an example is:

a commercial website hosted under domain name "commonusesofdrupal.com";

I would say that your service is a commercial site and is about a common need for Drupal.
