For my B&M business, I own the name of the store.net, as .com was not available.

Using Whois Lookup, I found the owner of the .com site (which is not currently being utilized), and tried to e-mail him to see if he would sell it to me, but got no response. The guy is in Japan, so I'm considering having the messages translated to Japanese and sending again - think this would help?

How important is it to have .COM address for a B&M business (that will eventually expand to e-commerce)?

Should I own any of the alternatives? .ORG, name with a dash, etc? Which ones would be most important to get?
