Mobile.co Buys Mobile.co.com And Movil.co.com

[Domain Author]

The mobile micro-jobbing and freelancing site Mobile.co recently acquired the domain name Mobile.co.com and Movil.co.com in a deal brokered by Igloo.com

The domains were reportedly bought for $32,000.
.co.com is a typo in the countries that offer domains under .co.ccTLD format, which may be the reason behind the acquisition of the domains.

What are peoples feelings about .co.com ?

Personally i think its a nice ext. but its not what i think that matters.

.co domains don't move easy if you're reseller as that's bad extensinon to be in.
.co.com wtf lol. that one is 10X as bad.

IMO It's a defensive purchase.

have no doubt it was defensive but if so they would also have to register all gtld's to cover all bases? tough to make a call on which.
