[smarm] 18/2/2014 08:43

Forgive me if you already know this but the 201 direct contended applications will be resolved in 10 auctions (monthly). They have been sorted thus (at least I assume this is the order they will be resolved).

[elland_road] 17/2/2014 13:01

Costapacket - cheers, yep hope its resolved soon. I hope Brian can string a couple of results together otherwise I don't think he'll last long at all.

Have read up quite a bit over the weekend on TLDH. Bit gutted I didn't get in before this rise but I'll keep an eye on it and try to time it right!

[mail2] 17/2/2014 09:48

short term 16.00p looks resistance. needs taking out with volume.

[johnma] 17/2/2014 08:59

The activity will only increase - you have to be in it to profit.

Top Level Domain Holdings (TLDH.L) CORPORATE FTSE AIM .LONDON Launch Dot London Domains Ltd, the subsidiary of London & Partners, the official promotional organisation of the Mayor's office, announced that .LONDON will be launched on the 29th of April. This is an exciting time for TLDH as .LONDON is one of the key assets in its portfolio of 25 uncontested, generic top-level domains in which it has an economic interest in. A YouGov survey has shown over 200,000 small businesses are likely to register. TLDH also has a "seat at the table" for 43 contested names and we expect a good proportion of these to be settled by private auctions over the next few months. With the recent £21m fund raising, TLDH is in a strong position to further enhance its portfolio. April 29 Launch Date for .LONDON – TLDH's client, Dot London Domains Ltd, has today announced that .LONDON will begin taking registrations on 29 April 2013, marking the formal launch of the .LONDON domain. This is an exciting time for TLDH, with .LONDON being one of the most attractive of the 25 uncontested, generic, top-level domains it has an economic interest in. TLDH also has a "seat at the table" for 43 contested TLDs which will be settled over the next few months either through deals, private auctions (losing bidders split the winning bid) or as a last resort, ICANN auctions. Over 200,000 Small Businesses Likely to Register– A YouGov research commissioned by London & Partners, the Mayor's official promotional organisation for London, shows that over a quarter of London's 840,000 small businesses are likely to apply for an address in the .LONDON domain. Interestingly, of these 41% said a .LONDON web address would help customers find them more easily and 27% said it would help them generate more sales. Registrars have confirmed the high levels of interest in .LONDON based on registrations of interest received thus far. 3-Month Priority Period – As part of the launch programme, London-based businesses and Londoners will be given an initial three-month priority period in which to pre-register domain names. During the same period, trademark holders registered in ICANN's Trademark Clearinghouse, will also be able to submit a claim for their associated address (es) for their trademark. News Flow Over Next Few Months to Remain Exciting – The internet landscape will be going through a sea-change with new internet endings such as .london, .app, and .music to be launched, challenging the .com dominance. It has taken years to get to this stage but the programme is now in full flow and with TLDH being one of the largest applicants together with Google, Amazon, and Donuts, we believe they are strongly positioned. We expect the news flow over the next few months on private auctions, launch dates, customer registrations to drive a better understanding of the value of TLDH's portfolio.

The upside on this share is huge.
.London is the one in focus, as that is the UK one.
.Berlin and .Miami are equally huge in those areas.
As we move to revenue generation, with hardly any overheads sales related,then the profits move straight into the bank account.
The auctions should give us a good indication what the next phase is, be it a share of auction cash, or a cash generating names portfolio. Win Win.
Personally I would prefer to buy some good names, and collect some cash from those that the management feels offers less value.
The end game is revenues and name valuations. Once the uncertainty is removed, investors will reap their rewards.
Looking forward to this week, hope our guys don't let us down.

[johnma] 16/2/2014 15:47

Parsons - exactly the point - this will only grow - when .london goes live a lot of people will wake up - by then the stock is north of 25p and the heard takes it further

[113mike] 16/2/2014 15:10

" we may see our first revenues as a back-end registry operator as early as Q4 2013, and revenue from the sale of domain names from our first wholly-owned new gTLD by Q1 2014."Be good to know if we're generating revenue / cash yet?Results were released end April last year but we could see them much earlier this year..GLA
