My problem is that I have invested 3 years in launching the new Music.us which was intended to have Music.mobi to display the artists mobile pages. I had a strategy and RFP but Caroline Greer from .mobi said they do not do side deals and I would have to bid for it. By the way I have been in contact with the MTLD for this domain since 2006. And then to hear some person will not develop it and wants sellers?
Hey for the guy who said that bids would go higher in a second auction that is OBVIOUS buddy. You email the world and tell them that the servers crashed and that the demand was high then new bidders will think that there is huge demand and therefore bid. Simple economics.
The auction CLOSED. Done. Delivered. You can not reopen it. The TOS do not mention anything about outages and servers crashing. I have taken screen shots and saved all the TOS and privacy statements.
I will go forward with the lawsuit tomorrow if I dont hear back from SEDO for the sake of everyone and the .mobi. Imagine having music.mobi, games.mobi, movies.mobi, sports.mobi not being developed. Are you kidding me? Equal distribution? What a myth. By the way everyone, i do not own 1 single .mobi. My only interest has always been music.mobi because i would have developed it like no other.
I am saddened and i hope this is rectified because I am the rightful owner. Everyone who missed the first legal auction that is not my fault. You had 7 days to bid. If an auction closes it closes. No excuse. And if it does open what business do NEW bidders have that did not submit bids in the original auction? Seems that they were bandwagoners who read all the hype that MTLD and SEDO sent them in their bulk emails.
Class lawsuit anyone? I am sure there will be one. I lost all my respect for the MTLD and SEDO. Their credibility is questioned now if they say binding agreements and invoices are invalid. That will boost your confidence next time you bid wont it?

P.S Out of stress and utter emotional discontent I managed to break one of my guitar strings following the second bogus auction due to aggressive guitar playing. I had to take my aggression somewhere people. Maybe I should have played the drums instead. Anyways, for all you musicians out there who i promised to get the mobile domain for your sites, you can take it up with SEDO and the MTLD.
I am off to bed. Oh wait. Is there a 3rd auction? I better not sleep just in case SEDO and MTLD send me another bulk email saying they extended the auction. I better go check my email. You never know with those people now
