Just another useless domain extention in an endless sea of useless extentions. Everyone with half a brain just makes their traditional .com browser/device detect correctly and format to suit. Just a money making idea this .mobi junk

mobi should be far more established by now. Some of their policies seem to achieve the opposite of what they are meant to do. I suspect that their decision makers are their own worst enemies.

As the owner of a substantial (largely developed) portfolio of mobi sites, I am disappointed about the apparent lack of making an effort to enforce development policy (although more than 6 months can be needed) as well as hoarding premium domains and at times releasing some through private contracts as was the case with capital city names and world mobi.

The restrictions are interesting. I wonder if they'll be enforced. Also I wonder if I should include .mobi domains on my page (Available Domain Names)

Little more than additional .mobi false hopes, broken promises, corporate-speak, and obfuscation…

You want to see more development on this ill-fated extension?

Take back a few high-profile ones from those who’ve not done what they agreed to do when they bought them…and resell them to others…if you dare.

Then watch the legal fur fly.

ps You state, “Even the naysayers are changing their minds about the domain.”

And just which naysayers are those?

Care to name some?
