.mobi Network Solutions now promoting mobi

[cramer]

A client of mine just forwarded to me a well done email that he rec'd from Network Solutions...promoting mobi. Network Solutions just started selling mobi domains the weekend of April 24. NS is one of the largest registrars, with millions of clients...so I imagine that a lot more people are just being exposed to mobi for the first time, this week.
My client has a domain registered thru NS, so I assume they are sending this to all their customers.
The subject line is "Is Your Business Ready For The Mobile Web? Find Out!"

Then the graphically rich and colorful email shows a cell phone and says "Get a Mobi domain - NEW and AVAILABLE from Network Solutions" and on another line says "Click Here to see if your site is mobile friendly". The links lead to a page that has the emulator imbedded, encouraging them to plug their existing domain into the emulator to see if their current site on a cell screen....and also gives them a place to check to see if the mobi they would want is available.

Thanks for the info. This is great news as .com's maintainer is promoting .mobi.

Sweeeeeeeeeett!

Why, $34.99. No thank you. :bah:
Last time I went there (not very long ago), they didn't even have the .MOBI as an option. Well, it's nice to know at least they support it now.

Talk about being late to the party.

has to be good news, i guess though

Good News for dotMobi!

Very good news because a lot of the largest and most powerful websites have their domain names regged through network solutions so it might help them notice that mobi exists when they go to renew their .com or maybe they will even get an email about it.

$34.99

HAH!

$34.99

HAH!

If you lock it in for 100 years... It can be had for only $9.99 a year LOL. Network Solutions really has become a joke.

Network Solutions targets business clients, most of who don't care about spending $34.99 for professional services. They are certainly not used by domainers.

That`s one of the greatest news we could possibly wait.

It`s like if we have seen an iceberg, but only the top of an immense giant iceberg and we are at that top. All the people coming later will go down occupying hte rest of what is going to be BIG.

I just don't see this as being so significant. Another registrar is selling mobi's. wow.

Now if they were selling domains at netsol.mobi then WOW!



edit- take a look at netsol.mobi, it may come sooner than we think. WOW!

 

[garrett200]

Umm....WOW! lol

 

[italiandragon]

who else wants/needs to say .........

WOW ?

Wow lol! I never would have thought that would happen

WOW! It is really helpful to promoting the dotMobi!

I get a email about price query for one of my dotMobi domain from its dotCom owner. The dotCom is registered at NetworkSolutions!

Unfortunately, it is the first time to get such Email and I don't know how to deal with it!

*** Just search it in uspto.gov and its dotCom site, it is not a trademark. ***

=========================================
Dear Sirs,
I would like to inquire about the ****.MOBI domain name. Our organization is interested in acquiring this name if it is for sale. Please contact me at ****@***.com at your earliest convenience to discuss this issue.

Sincerely,

I was not planning to sell it but I am willing to consider an offer for it if you make one.

I talked to a network solutions customer friend of mine today, said she got an email from them announcing that they are now selling .mobi's.

Thanks a lot! This is the first time of such things for me.

I have some domains in Network Solutions, and receive the Email too.
