.MOBI will rock domain name market
Posted in domain names, ccTLD on June 17th, 2006There seems to be a building frenzy over the upcoming public “land rush” registration period. After an impressive crescendo of money chasing .eu names this spring, .mobi looks poised to surpass it. If industry insiders are right there should be a couple million names registered by the end of this summer, making .mobi one of the top five domains in the market.
Why does .mobi have such momentum? It’s because the big players in the telecomm and mobile device industries are so hot for this sponsored TLD. It’s thought that if the phone manufacturers make some small changes to the browsers used in these devices, .mobi will be the default site served up when a user simply enters a word into the device.
