Wow – there are a lot of people backing this. But I guess the next question is one of speed: will mobile technology evolve fast enough that it will render made-for-mobile sites superfluous or will the demand for made-for-mobile sites come before we are even near that level.

Anyway – the talk has got me excited – I just registered my first two .mobis

I’m still torn like many in the industry about the value and future use of .mobi IS it All Hype or has it got BITE?

Marcus, I think it is little more than “enough hype” when you see who is backing .mobi
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.mobi#Sponsors_of_.mobi

And to keep pace with what and whom is developing their .mobi sites ve sure to check out: http://www.developing.mobi/

Makes me wonder if .mobi in the future will wrap itself up in Net Neutrality: the different boosts in speeds depending on how you access the Internet.
I feel there are just to many BIG BOYS involved for a “Hoax” to be real.

I’m still on the fence, but lean toward .mobi rather than away. I only own one .mobi A single dictionary keyword. I’m waiting to see like the rest of us.

Funny that it’s .mobi. Could have been .cell or anything else. Any any dot-com that really wants to cater to a cellphone market would probably be better off doing a mobile.sitename.com for mobile browsers.

But then again, if there is enough hype people will see value in anything
