Pays dearly for Mobile.co.com — Mobile.co owner

Firm pays $32,000 for mobil.co.com and movil.co.com.

.co.comThe firm that owns Mobile.co has spent $32,000 to acquire the third level domain names Mobile.co.com and Movil.co.com, the .co.com registry noted this morning.

Freelancing site Mobile Inc bought the domain names in a deal brokered by Igloo.com.

Although it might seem like a lot of money, the firm may have spent a proportionally staggering amount when it purchased Mobile.co.

.co.com is a common typo in countries that offer domains under a .co.ccTLD format.

In related news, the .co.com registry is right now auctioning off a bunch of city names with no reserve at NameJet.
