Great blog post today by Neil from dotMobi. Agree that the more frequent postings are welcome and just reinforce most of what we (.mobi believers) already thought or knew.

Here's some excerpts:


dotMobi's investors are building new products and services utilizing the .mobi domain name, the new tools available at dev.mobi, and using dotMobi to push out new industry services like our upcoming mobile phone database and our content directory.

You have to remember that we are talking about the biggest mobility companies in the world whose product life cycles are long ... and confidential. The investors behind dotMobi are no more going to publicly pre-announce their competitive services using dotMobi than Apple did with the iPhone.

The signs are visible everywhere and there will be no big bang announcements. But everyone will wake up one day and either have caught the dotMobi wave or been left behind.

Three months ago, there were about one million pages indexed on Google behind .mobi. Today, there are more than five million pages indexed behind .mobi names. While parking pages exist, there are many deep sites and we see the parking pages converting daily to real sites.

I ran this at NP, as it is a fitting read for the naysaying morons there.

Excellent writeup. I was intrigued by the "not if, but when" statement about .mobi being mandatory in browsers...

I agree Dagersh.

The entire writeup was sincere, insightful and intriguing...particularly, the point you alluded to Dagersh....



For example, 3 (Hutchinson) had more traffic to their .mobi mobile site (http://mtld.mobi/emulator.php?webaddress=3neXt.mobi) than they did to their PC-based web site last month. Telecom Italia (http://mtld.mobi/system/files/mobi_Case_Study-TIM.pdf) sells a complete package to their small business customers in Italy based on .mobi. The list of examples go on and on. And that's not to mention the industry requirements for .mobi being mandatory in browsers: it will happen; it is not a matter of if, but when.

This can be read two ways and my suspicion is that he means that the industry requirements (as in the coding standards of W3C that are used for .mobi) being mandatory in browsers. Of course I would love for .mobi to be mandatory but I just don't think that is what he is saying. I could be (and hopefully) am wrong.
