 Will .mobi be a damp squid? The .mobi TLD will become available to the public shortly (it's currently only open to trademark holders etc.,) Do you think it's going to have a future or will it be yet another damp squid like me.uk or .name?

| I'd have to say this will probably become very big amongst the mobile network operators themselves - especially those who do mobile blogging/storage systems (plug plug), and more of the US operators will probably use this too. That said, I dont see joe bloggs using it as frequently as the .com |

| Anyone remember WAP? There will be some speculation but only a few will make money - the rest will be stuck with useless domains - just like .eu gTLD. However .mobi does seem to be better managed so it could be a limited success. Regards...jmcc |

| Curiously I wonder if the SE's will add any weight to .mobi domains in their mobile search portals? It seems that the handset makers are gradually moving toward higher res screens and you would have to wonder if mobile arena will take off some time? Suppose it needs a catalyst - cheaper data prices?
