Premium vs Reserved .mobi domains


FYI, there is a real difference between "premium" names and "reserved" names.

I talked with the .mobi people at TRAFFIC last week and they told me the difference.

The reserved names are being withheld as per agreed contract with ICANN. The names CANNOT be released by mtld, the .mobi registrar. Someday maybe if the contract is renegotiated, then maybe they will be released. I was told there are currently no plans to renegotiate the contract.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/dot-mobi/253551-premium-vs-reserved-mobi-domains.html

Premium names can be released by mtld as they wish.

So, check your list of names. For me, I like Cuba names. Turns out that Cuba.mobi, Havana.mobi, LaHabana.mobi and ALL the province names in all of Cuba are reserved names. I picked up Habana.mobi.

Since there are no other Havana .mobi names, my little Habanal.mobi is the de facto KING of Cuba domains.

What names do you have that are "surrounded" by reserved names?

Premium List


I own bankwesen.mobi(banking in German).

It should be considered because the following names are on the dotMobi "premium" list:

bank(bank in English & German)
banks
banken(banks in German)

It will be interesting to see what happens in the near future...

No. That's not what I am talking about.

iHabana.mobi is not similar to Habana.mobi

I am talking about city names that you have that were "missed" by the reserved list.
