Domisfera wanted to know more about the real state of .mobi domains, so asked for an interview with Pinkard Alan from dotMobi.This is the result, if they are enough and relevant questions and comments from the readers, Domisfera will make a second interview...
(1) [Domisfera.com] What is your full name?, Where do you come from?
[Pinky Brand’s response] My full name is Pinkard Alan Brand. Everyone calls me by my nickname, which is "Pinky." I am originally from Houston, Texas. Since 1998 I have been located in the Washington D.C. area after selling my first domain name related business (idNames) to Network Solutions. You can obtain information on my background and history by visiting my personal mobile site at pinky.mobi or my PC-based web site at pinkybrand.com.
(2) What did you do before working in dotMobi?, How do you begin in the domaining world?
In the 80s I worked in the television news and advertising industries. In the 90s I became an entrepreneur and started investing in a variety of businesses. In 1996 I became very interested in the domain name industry literally after seeing the original InterNIC WHOIS site in the middle of the night. The next day I co-founded a ccTLD registration company called idNames that I later sold to Network Solutions when they were still a monopoly. This company went from $0 to $33 million in annual revenue in 4 years. In 2002 I co-founded a corporate domain name registrar called Arcemus that we later sold to Iron Mountain. It does millions in annual revenue as well. Again, you can obtain information on my background and history in the domain name industry by visiting my personal sites at pinkybrand.com or on mobile at pinky.mobi ...
