How did you find the email address length and the username?

Use this form (https://twitter.com/account/begin_password_reset). Enter the handle.
Ahh..

I see why the account was suspended though, look at how many tweets! https://web.archive.org/web/20100728101609/http://twitter.com/diginomics

Yes. Clearly they were using a third party service to automate tweets and got suspended for it.

Nice find.

I wonder if there is a way to reinstate the handle and take ownership of it?
Try talking to twitter's customer support and see if they will allow that. Perhaps they will, as many sites do recycle usernames if they remained unused for too long. It looks like that account was probably suspended ~5 years ago.

What we're basically trying to do here is take ownership of the @diginomics twitter handle. If there is an easier way to do this, then I am all ears and willing to pay handsomely for a solution.
You could always try using this form: https://support.twitter.com/forms/impersonation. Since you own the diginomics.com domain, it may be possible to do so, especially with the account being suspended right now. You would have to say that the person who owns that account is squatting on your name.

I suppose one thing that twitter support may ask is the email used to this account?
if the owner of the account had somehow posted the email address of such account, it should be possible to be seen by now. but seem not.

Hi, do you still need this?
Not sure, but I think I may have found the owner of the handle you are looking for. I trawled through old tweets and contacted some of their old re-tweets. Now I have a Gmail address and could possibly get you a phone number. Let me know.

Several years ago it was possible to ask Twitter to make an inactive account (6 months of inactivity) available again. All you had to do was:
- Follow @Support (Twitter Help Center)
- Send a direct message with the name of the inactive account (example: @Support Hello, the account @diginomics is inactive for a long time, could you make it available again please)
- Wait for answer

Another possibility:
register "Digital Economics" and "diginomics" in your country (trademark registration) and contact Twitter for Trademark Policy Violation
