Comments on: .Mobi – A Tower of Cards Waiting to Fall http://www.domainbits.com/mobi/ Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:19:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: faithful http://www.domainbits.com/mobi/comment-page-1/#comment-16150 faithful Sun, 30 Aug 2009 18:27:49 +0000 http://www.domainbits.com/mobi/#comment-16150 It now seems MTLD, having rebranded themselves as Dotmobi, had to give up on promising that .mobi domains would deliver mobile content. Why? Were not enough using the domains, or was it too much to ask people to actually use them for mobile content? Anyway, that Trustmark which was supposed to be the Unique Selling Point of .mobi is gone, so what is left? Registrations are down and Dotmobi lost money in 2008 and may in 2009, so be sure to follow the news on the mobility.mobi forum and at Gomonews.com http://www.gomonews.com/trouble-in-dotmobi-paradise/ And look for the public announcement from Dotmobi that you can use a .mobi domain for anything you like.
