All this Dot Mobi hoopla and RFP's just getting out of the gate!

People express their doubts on .mobis and don't realize that all those premium words are still yet to go out!

This precedent of RFP is genius! So many names, going to be used, and likely advertised, by businesses proposing to use it! (What if some rich domainer had bought them all!) People are judging .mobi as if all the good names are gone already!

On the contrary, most of the best names are still unregistered, not parked or brand protecting nothings etc. - they are still available to be useful.

-------

Although weather.mobi owns the .com as well and who knows what will happen.. other companies that can receive any of the countless reserved names who don't own the .com = .mobi will be advertised by the best deemed to hold the name.

It's still early, why pour out marketing funds like TV when most phones don't have internet yet!? Get ready, the biggest companies are positioning themselves today for this revolution!

I'm not just talking about the strange URL game and out of this world silence game hehe

Has anyone noticed such not so strong names, kinda obscure, that were also reserved! What will happen with these with regards to bids.. will there be such a giant hoopla by then, a craze, that will generate the interest in these names even? who knows..

All I know is you have to be first to reg a domain name in this biz we're in.. and the aftermarket is some kind of a special haven..

Again, my look on 1994: looking back, people say generally one of three things about domain registering:

1.) I knew about domain registering back then, bought some; but, then sold too early.. If I had kept them, I'd have x amount of money today!
2.) I knew about domain registering back then but didn't buy any
3.) Man I wish I knew about this domain registering back then!

Which one are you :td:

Support ICANN's battle and ONE INTERNET! (still have, stemming from its infancy)

Other than Weather.mobi ... what specific progress is being made, presently, with regard to RFP's (and the RFP process (which many believed to be the future of getting premium .MOBI's into the hands of developers / End users)? IYHO. :blink:

Thanks for any insight.

not much, yet

true statement, not much yet

..but if the progress had been made already, as we speak, then those best names might not have fallen into the deepest marketing pockets..

..for the healthiest ecosystem (while most phones worldwide don't have INTERNET yet so there is not so much wasted)

But the recent announcements are big names, and I fathom the momentum (perhaps from an oncoming marketing blitz) will garner more interest in the other, less stronger names..

its true no one knows the future, but also true we shouldn't also play so much the past - more so the present, current situation and forthwright..

some of the early names auctioned are parked.. and I feel many of them got at an awesome bargain/investment.. which I think was an indicator to the Dot Mobi team that things had been premature..

I think Dot Mobi has demonstrated very good progress in patience..

Because if you don't give the name away, then you still have it..

I am not married, maybe I thought of doing it before but I am kinda glad the way things worked out for me.. now interested in the Quran, I'd like to have more than one wife for many children now and would be happy to have my potential wifes accept that situation..

I haven't had a girlfriend even since I was 18, been on only two dates in the past 14 years - one in 1994 and one in 1998 hehe!

Patience Dennis! (But I don't think I can wait much longer! :red
