.mobi news.mobi to be auctioned

[slugraduate]

I just reviewed the initial list for the Moniker auction. News.mobi is on the list, as are a few others. I am very pleased to see this particular name going to sale , as I have been waiting for some time. I own newscast.mobi and a interested to see what kind of teeth the former has.

Thank you for the good news!

Interestingly, so is free.mobi - which of course is currently on auction at Sedo.

Contingency planning from MTLD?

I thought that these were going to be parceled out to those with the resources and grand ideas. It appears the MTLD folks may have decided otherwise. Either that or news,mobi was awarded and the new owner decided once it was in their possession that MTLD could kiss off.

Just double checked: apparently free.mobi was listed at Sedo without a reserve.

So why it is also for auction at Moniker I really don't know.

Did they think that Sedo bidders might read it as 'free .mobi' and not be inclined to pay anything for it?

I am extremely disappointed that mTLD abandoned the RFP process for premium domain name, "News.mobi" IMHO. :yell:

Thanks for allowing me to share.

Certainly. Because you've never ever made that point before. Glad you could finally get it off your chest.

Do you understand how much a developed and fully promoted News.mobi in the hands of the right End user ... could have advanced the .MOBI extension and "ecosystem"?
Just my two sense.
