    They aren't really a builder. It looks like they bought up a few domains and put out a press release to drive up their traffic numbers. Probably just trying to make their numbers look good to advertisers.

    Three words, 13 characters... it looks like .mobi's don't necessarily need to be short.

    Thanks for the article Vision!

    Funny they announce to the world they are cybersquatters. They have to resort to cybersqatting because they only have one builder customer. They think they can get builders to sign up by infringing on their TMs.

    Fearless,

    They are builders building their portfolio.

    BTW - What is your impression of NBA.mobi or Rolls-Royce.mobi?

    You may have a point here. CPMorgan is the name of another company. I'm confused as to what these guys are up to.

    The whole thing is just a scam for web traffic. If you go to any National builders site you won't see one single G**gle ad.

    Builders spend $###,### on their sites. I can't see any any large builder being in bed with these guy's.

    But it is still good PR for Mobi

    Re: One of the largest U.S. builders acquires .mobi domains for their corporation

    I might get a press release written up, informing the world that i am going to stop harvesting .mobi's and start developing! It'll be as much use as their little idea!!! And also get a few hits on my .mobis!!! Oh and that i own dumbass.mobi too! LOL

    I think they are seriously wrong in the head by releasing to the world that they are cyber squatters, could prove costly for them, but could give some publicity to the .mobi cause!!!!
