Has anybody thought about how many times a mobile user would be required to push his keypad just in order to enter the .mobi bit of any  url they were thinking about directing their mobile browser to? My brother points out on one of his Braingarden blog that it’s ten, yes TEN times!

I totally agree with him,. .wap would of been a more sensible option if this is something thats necessary. A simple 1927 on a mobile keypad.

Me thinks it’s all about domaineering and giving a boost to the domain market. They want to ride the mobile wave like everybody else!

According to FT.com, a consortium that includes Microsoft, Nokia and Vodafone is promoting “dotmobi” but others in the technology industry have voiced concerns. A senior lawyer at Verizon Communications, the second-largest US telecommunications group, said there was no “particular business need” for “dotmobi” and the company had only registered verizon.mobi to prevent others taking it.
