I just thought that numbers are better for .mobi.
My opinion is that .mobi will end up like idn. For the first few years, virtually no one will use it, and some people drop the names. One difference though, the damage will be 10 times idn a year!
If it takes 5 years to take off, are you guys prepared to pay the equivalent of 50 idns for each .mobi? Though, i think it's still possible to take profit by immediately flipping the names, generic ones, that you just got.
Diversification? I don't buy that idea. Diversification is to invest money on other things than domain.

All the companies that support it directly get paid from it if people browse more via their phones.
I'd support an extension too if everytime the domain had a visitor my company got a 1/5 chance of earning revenue.
I think it will be pushed more by companies but will consumers "Get it"?

There might be something to learn about the Japanese experience. We know from the media that the Japanese are crazy about imode. Imode has been popular for at least 6 years and is already a mature technology.
How is monetarization like for imode? Does imode use a special extension or just the .com? Is there a PPC program for imode?
