Nice copy/paste from that other thread.

For the record, 1985 cannot be rendered as the starting date of .com, which did not achieve commercial status till 1995 (the introduction of paid registrations). Therefore, subtract 10 years from that 22-year figure.

Second, as I already stated in that other thread, with each new TLD the game becomes a repetition:

1. Announce new TLD
2. Reserve hot-selling keywords
3. Open the floodgates
4. Wait a while to create hype
5. Auction the reserved keywords

Etc.

.mobi is easily the most HYPED TLD in domain history. Hype is commotion without substance.

Throwing in a few names of domain investors in your first post, alleging they are right this minute bidding on Sedo's mobifest, is exactly what hype is. Faux news style.
