Back on February 7, 2008 dotMobi reported that they contacted all the winners of the disastrous auction conducted by Sedo December last year, during which they experienced a server crash. According to dotMobi, of the more than 70 involved less than 10 rejected the proposal for allocation of premium domains. By having the majority support of the community affected, dotMobi went ahead with this proposal which was basically to be paid the highest price reached by domains (in the original auction or extensions thereof) or nothing (domains would stay in dotMobi).

It has been more than 5 months after the conclusion of the auction and 3 after dotMobi began the allocation process. It is time to know what happened to these premium .mobi domains...

From Traverse Legal:
Parking companies are handcuffed in many ways by their relationship with Google and Yahoo, who essentially control the framework by which ads are shown on parking pages.  Parking companies, however, now appear to realize the necessity of working with Google and Yahoo to develop options which allow a domain owner to exclude categories of ads which are shown on parked pages.  Based on several conversations with parking companies at the recent T.R.A.F.F.I.C show that keyword category and trademark exclusion will soon be available.
