The dot mobi hype debacle shows that the market has entered the irrational stage - whereby traditional valuation methods are no longer working and people go for lottery where the chance of winning anything is one out of a ten thousand. Ask the dot mobi fanatic why they think dot mobi will work, the answer they will provide will be the likes of "dot mobi success will make dot com look like nothing".

It will be the death knell for alternative TLDs.
