![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Why do you think the Internet Mobile growth is slow/slowed? Why? Also, any Conspiracies? If you can imagine it, at the highest power$ level, it has probably been thought of, tried, or is being done. Kind Regards, Yelo P.S. I know because of my domainer whois experience with ideas hehe

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | version II Yes, I agree `Lower prices ----> product adoption I guess I was meaning to refer to, for our sake here, .mobi site adoption.. To clarify more.. `lower pricing -----> product demand ----->.mobi marketing ----->.mobi site adoption----->.mobi supply/content ecosystem? People say still "we need more content out there BEFORE .mobi can be marketed" etc.. I disagree with this guise as per the above order - marketing spurs .mobi adoption (regz) which spurs content on a much grander scale etc.. (with that said, we here on these forums have played a key, historic role as the first sampling of existing .mobi developments) ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/dot-mobi/384611-why-do-you-think-internet-mobile.html So what entity spurs lower pricing is the question I guess.. Is it the same entity that can shortcut ".mobi marketing" (above order) with respect to enforcement issues? But we are getting there, albeit slowly, I am just trying to be the catalyst here Kind Regards, Yelo

![]() | Data plans can be expensive and redundant quite quickly - ie. GPRS > 3G was inside a couple of years in the UK. NextG is out here in Australia (3.5G) etc etc. Apart from the iphone which is gloss on products already out there, the only 'new' tech has been the implementation of GPS in nokia handsets - something that many have been doing via IR or bluetooth for years. Tech will keep getting better and faster, yet the networks will still need to keep their cashflows. I wont link this into .mobi for fear of being hung drawn and quartered, but interesting points to think about and where the growth and contraints will apply |

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=384611 This is the be-all & end-all of why .mobi (as an international std) will win the day (IMHO) Because however fast & however good the technology gets, a .mobi site will always load faster than a std web site (& for the next few years that IS going to be THE issue) We are so used to the web at 2MB 4MB 10MB 20MB at home & at the office that using a mobile device is soooooo soooooo disappointing - enter .mobi = quick sites - maybe closer to desk-top speeds soon (but only for much 'lighter' sites) It has to be this way because I have a 20MB connection at home - why would I want to try & load a data heavy site on the move - it'd feel like dial-up all over again ;-) Regards Gary | ||||

![]() ![]() | For those who do not have a plan of action or do not have a business case for what they are doing, the Internet mobile market would appear to be slow. For those like myself that have a business plan, VCs, customers and route to profitability, it could be said that the Internet mobile market is moving too fast. It is all a matter of perspective as to whether you notice it. There were some Internet Domainers that were expecting quick wealth and riches by buying popular DotMobi domain names and flipping them for fast cash. Some were successful in doing that but it is unrealistic and some cases "foolish thinking" to expect that everyone would be as successful in this type of activity. It has been stated repeatedly throughout this forum that developing the DotMobi Internet domains is the truth path to success. So the question: "Why do you think the Internet Mobile growth is slow/slowed?" is not really credible. There are thousands of companies working on mobile and mobility content for the Internet. Some are using conventional DotCom domain names while others are using DotMobi domains. My point is that there is an enormous amount of activity for the mobile Internet. It is all a matter of perspective as to whether you notice it. :-)

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=384611 Australia is not unique in that aspect of mobile data rate billing. There are other countries that have unreasonable rates for mobile data. This will change over time but that has not slowed the progress of development of mobile content.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Hi! IMO, briefly: 1 Korea & Japan lightyears ahead mobile internet 2 United $tate$ is the Superpower 3 You can talk almost for FREE over the Internet (like YIM) + __________________________________________________ _ = "Slowed" ------------------------------------------------ Next Subject: Do you think mobile internet growth with .com has been somewhat slow? The m. movement? .com role confusing, from user standpoint? Stifling? (the old FORCED redirect argument seems to have not worked out) There are many ways you can look at this.. .com mobile development hunger etc.. What do you think? I know I live somewhat out of touch with this world, but I just don't hear that much of a craze about any mobile website of the existing .com ecosystem (pc) with mobile mania.. on tv or by kids or anything.. I mean these existing companies have $$ right? ..that's why I was thinking it was kinda "slow", relatively? I know most phones don't have internet yet.. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=384611 remember when they all used to charge us $17 for music CD's that cost like 25 cents to make today hehe! Kind Regards, Yelo

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | It costs too much for general users because they don't know the wealth of mobile information out there, and what there is access to. I think Sprint Vision here in the US is something like $15 a month. I have it. I use it all the time. -Steve |
