I think Rick has good reason to be upset with Jay after Jay claimed he backed out of one of the .mobi auctions at TRAFFIC, which was not true. But TrafficZ has been sponsoring Domain Roundtable for a while, so I think Rick will take the sponsorship where he can get it. Rob, good questions.

We are squarely in the consolidation phase of a maturing market so I expect to see more mergers and acquisitions in 2008. With regards to this merger/acquisition I like the marriage. I think the parts will fit nicely together and now TC establishes itself as one of the big dogs. Are they looking to buy more companies or are they positioning themselves to be bought by an even bigger player? Of course only time will tell. Congratulations to all involved. My only question is "What does Rick Schwartz have to say about this?" I understand that he and Jay had a falling out (not sure of the status now) and TrafficZ is the diamond sponsor at TRAFFIC. Does that mean they cannot advertise Domain Roundtable there? The domain industry is growing up.
