Well, it appears they recognize the need to make dev a bit easier for people. I'm glad they are contributing to the solution.

Every little helps, but i would like to see the mtld registry invest some of it's new acquired wealth in promotion, via tv ads, newspaper ads or a few billboards at least. The big boys might follow.........

Not much content yet to promote. Give it time.

I think its a step in the right direction, I myself am not a developer and was wondering through software programs trying to get my .mobi up and running. I use www.mobisitegalore.com atm to promote my photos
