The folks at 'Numbers That Work' takes a new, unique approach to selling domain names. They feature domains that are like phone numbers and use their naming conventions.
A 'Sunrise Period' in the domain business refers to a time set aside before registrations are open to the general population to give business and intellectual property owners an opportunity to stake their claim to ownership of domains with new extensions.
The Sunrise Period for dot mobi domains has expired and domains can be registered by anyone. There was no way to have a 'Sunrise Period' for 1-Dial and I-Dash Domains.
Heads-Up to Business Owners
This may be one of those 'internet' moments that require some action to stake a claim for mobile eyeballs.
Business owners may need to move quickly to protect their intellectual property, brands, copyrights or trademark interests by registering domains that have future benefits to mobile sales.
Following up by leveraging a dot mobi site with content targeting mobile visitors makes sense if there is a need to provide better or different content to mobile surfers.
While this idea is novel and unique, it won't have the dramatic effect as the dot com 'domain stampede', domain speculators may snap up domains that fit the criteria for appraisal that will have the most future value at auction.
Speculation
Domain Speculators (investors that purchase domains in hopes that future values will increase) may see opportunities and gather domains to sell later. Lots of domains fitting the 1-Dash naming convention (1-word) have been registered way before we began promoting the similarity to phone numbers. We suspect that the domains were registered for their keyword or search value to generate revenue as parked domains.
Many Domain Speculators have lots of names in inventory which become a portfolio that can be sold as a unit. Our idea may make many of these Domain Speculators very happy in the near future...
Domain Squatters
Purchasing a domain for the purpose of holding the owner ransom is just wrong.
Domain Tasters
Domain tasters will probably pass on 'number domains' because they take a bit of work to identify with letters and words on phone keypads.
