Heh
They actually have
They're offering registrars "points" for registrations between February and June I think (have to check in the morning!) which are automatically "redeemed" against new registrations in June or July (forget which - only skimmed the email)
Of course, as I already stated elsewhere and you have too, the only way a namespace can possibly succeed is if its adopted and used.
DotMobi have done quite a bit of work interacting with registrars, resellers and domainers and thus encouraging takeup and usage of the name. Access paramount.mobi or weather.mobi and you'll see cool and useful content for your mobile phone.
Eurid on the other hand don't seem to "get" marketing and have been relying on rather coy promo videos and printed leaflets to promote the namespace. They've also made some rather odd choices with respect to the language ie. opting for English only promotions that are meaningless for the vast majority of the target market!
