1 and 2 letter .de names to be released

[Wot]

no, i do not need more info about kashubian
i have google and wikipedia too

i only informed you that "ë" does not exist in german
and that "ÿ" is even more useless under .de

you can buy 1000 useless .de domains, i do not mind

i only wanted to help you
but obviously you are not interested

Ah- ignoring the French and the Dutch.

Thank you but I did not ask for help and am fully aware of what I am buying, they are useless in your opinion but many others think otherwise and time will tell.

Let's leave it at that.

I think DD24 were catching it for themselves? 25K euro reg fee but now Sedo broker can buy for $xxx,xxx on behalf of winning bidder and just get commission?

Yes, it looks DD24 did catch tv.de for themselves, because the current owner, is a friend from dd24 CEOs family.

I know, that a lot of those Domains will get the 'lucky' owner into problem with Trademarks.

So are we looking mostly at the registries themselves being the primary winner in many of these auctions?

It would appear that way. I very much doubt people were hand regging 2 letter. de's and most registrars did not offer a pre-order service for this. The rich get richer.. surprise, surprise.

For the last time- I know.

Just for the record you will find that every language that has accents /umlauts (That were registerble) have been taken, single letters , doubles, combos etc- in spades!

Looks like Deutsche Telekom picked up dt.de

One of the very few obvious end users, it seems.

Take a look, what you'll find at www.t.de :lol:

although they do not use the full name any more
because as a global company they do not want to be "deutsche"
(i mean in marketing
it is still used in legal texts, as it is the official name of the group)

i guess they would prefer t.de instead

Take a look, what you'll find at www.t.de

yes, that is the best protection against reverse hijacking

26 companies cannot own the whole alphabet (internet)

As you seem to care, some more options:


"Ë, ë (e-umlaut or diaeresis) is a letter in the Albanian and Kashubian languages. This letter also appears in Afrikaans, Dutch, French, Abruzzese dialect, and Luxembourgish language as a variant of letter "e". The letter also appears in Turoyo and Taiwanese Hokkien when written in Latin script."

As you can see many people can simply type it from their keyboards.

Shouldn't you have registered the Dot Com. What if anything do any these have to do with Dot DE?

It is sometimes not difficult to see why IDNers struggle to be taken seriously!

In Luxemburg the third language is german.
But I agree- they won't expect it in .de Domains.

Luxembourgish is the language that Luxembourgers generally speak to each other, but it is not often written down.

how many words have initial "ë"?
(or "ÿ")

That depends, where you are.
French is more common in the western parts near the belgian border.

Could have but did not as I don't think Dë.com would have been as attractive as Dë.de. As I said earlier, thousands of non German 1 & 2 letter IDN.de have been taken by-you guessed it - Germans.

If any country takes their cctld domains seriously then DE is way out on top. If they think this type of name has a future then why should I disagree.


And why would you be concerned whether or not IDN 'ers are taken seriously, that's the problem of the unbelievers - the press is full of what is about to happen, you are personally sitting on a goldmine.

Me, I love IDN, but also like thinking outside of the standard boxes occasionally.For the record fù.de was taken by yet another German, perhaps gives an indicator of their opinion of what others may think.

most countries take their cctld seriously
exceptions: very high price, restrictions, non existing inftrastructure

u.s. cctld is de facto .com, not .us

If they think this type of name has a future then why should I disagree.

future?
is it one year? 5 years? or 100 years?

 

[DTalk]

future?

is it one year? 5 years? or 100 years?

Ahhh...Now that's the trick...Timing...

The guys that get the answer to that right - in any speculative effort - are the guys that make the money...

Ask the Germans who own probably 99% of the names in question.

i have asked you
so you have no opinion?

if anyone uses such a name in business, it will be his biggest mistake

no one will remember it (in germany)
people would not be able to type it (without using google or wikipedia)
it is no typo, so it has no traffic
