| well, if i/we bought half of them, some would resell (leads to delay to enduser, possibly never) or park for ppc (same) and a lot of them would not get developed. My take is the hold back = ensuring the names get to endusers with dev restrictions + ensuring money goes to mTLD for promotion and marketing +/- profits taken by the mTLD as a private corporation. The equation is legit. How it is balanced at present seems legit. How it will be in the future, I predict that it will be legit. Don't forget mTLD inherently wants mobi to soar as well. think of the level of return with regard to highter reg renewals. |
