		<description>My point of view is .com, .info and .net are toplevel domains.</description>

		<description>This was one time I was glad I took the plunge and purchased a number of dotMobi domains back in Septermber 2006.  I&#039;ve been developing for fourteen years and kicked myself way too often for not getting in on some great domains when the opportunity came knocking.  I&#039;ve had a lot of fun developing the sites with their unique abilities and even have had a few make it to the MTLD showcase.  Offering the target of a perfect score of 5.00 is a great way to have the developers strive for perfection in their sites and adds a level of quality to the dotMobi domains.

   There are still a few good domains available as I picked up one of my favorite authors, C.S. Lewis of Narnian lore, just last week and have just begun developing it.  

   I have a list to watch for those dropping periodically and am sold on the convenience the next generation will be demanding as the base line.  This was certainly one of the best thought out names with support to match.  Our college students have shown how fast they assimilate the sites in their daily routine viewing on the 2 inch screens.

   Although mega bucks doesn&#039;t dictate the quality of a domain name it does indicate the demand from those with the resources who believe they can recoup their investment and push the future acceptance a little sooner.

   Good luck to all of you with dotMobis!  Here&#039;s to convienent and usable sites that will give proper credence to the dotMobi extensions.</description>

		<description>Here’s my take on the auction…

It’s simple! There were NO bids in the final minutes of the auction because no one could bid. It’s not fair that people who got out-bid 1 second before the crash (by $100 in my case) just lose a domain because of LUCK on behalf of the lucky bidder!

If e.g. end user 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9….. lose out on having a fair chance of winning an auction, just because lucky bidder no. 1 GOT LUCKY….there would be more law suits to deal with than you can imagine.

The only thing Sedo are responsible for is not waiting for enough time to pass before restarting the auction.

Automated emails will not be considered as sufficient evidence in a court of law to confirm a fair winning bid.</description>

		<description>I am personally suing the MTLD and Sedo since I was the original winner of Music.mobi

The records are a fake. I had a proxy for $611k and I request that it be removed. I won the initial auction and will take recourse / legal action

		<description>FYI, the .mobi auctions were originally extended due to a server outage. This has one guy really frustrated who thought he bought Music.mobi.  But it makes sense that Sedo extended these auctions.  Here&#039;s the note from Sedo:

We are aware the there are some problems with the .MOBI Auction at this time. Due the down time we were not able to extend the auction before the set closing time. Some bidders may have received emails saying that they have won the auction, however because the system was down the highest bid at the time the system failed are not binding according to our terms and conditions. The auction will be up and running very shortly and will be extended by until 3:30pm EST to ensure all interested parties can place their bids. While this is unfortunate, the good news is that the problems are due to the large number of last minute bidders! This is the first time an auction has brought down our servers due to such a large amount of activity. 


Be assured that if there is any additional down time again, it will again be extended to ensure all bidders can place their desired bids. Please check the auction details page to ensure that your bid was accepted. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.</description>

		<description>JetRay, don&#039;t get so excited yet.  I haven&#039;t hear of end users buying these domains.  If the end users never show up, the value of these domains drops big time.  You can only flip domains to other investors so many times.

That said, if an end user comes in an pops $1M for a good domain, then you should cheer.</description>
