It's obvious webair bought the name, they also bought iParking.com from Afternic recently using the same id (webair)... so yes it is definitely them.
WebAir made the biggest mistake they've could've made when it comes to domains... bad faith registration.... no doubt about it. National-Net will be able to pluck this from them easily, perhaps even for free, and webair will have an everlasting record of this mistake for all to see and for NatNet to reference in future clever marketing campaigns...
Because domains are such a large part of my business, I have lost all respect for webair because of this one stupid act. It was a crude, tactless, foolish move that will only ending up hurting their rep, not to mention losing the domain name and the $5K. Only way to remedy this is to transfer it to natnet before it goes to arbitration... unless webair wants this on their permanent record... It's one thing to compete on service, or pricing, but this was a stupid move and they win my "DOMAIN DUMBASS" award.
but let's give webair the benefit of the doubt... perhaps, webair bought it because they didn't want it to fall into the wrong hands and bought it right away and is planning on selling it to NatNet for the price they paid...
WTF were they thinking? No one would find out? LOL. You'd think a hosting company would know a little bit about how the domain game is played (UDRP/WIPO/ETC). I think it's sad if this is the only way they can compete with NatNet.
Webair just OWNED themselves.
