As a Twitter user I would generally prefer to communicate via email - I actually read 100% of my emails and am capable of digesting more than 140 words at once! In the UK at least, passing off as a brand will get you in trouble with the law, so I'm sure these companies will be able to claim the names back if/when they need them.

I have found that quite a lot of brand names are taken by 'brand-squatters'. I set up @virgintrains for, you've guessed it; Virgin Trains and it took a few months patience with Twitter Support to retrieve from a user. My guidance is if your brand name is being 'used' by a squatter, begin the process early and keep pushing Twitter for a resolution. :-) Interesting post.
