I have an alternate theory about what should be "premium" letters for .mobi. It certainly goes against the conventional premium lll school of though, but some may find it useful.
The theory assumes that most individuals visiting .mobi extensions will be using their cell phones. If that is true, then the theory hypothesizes that letters which would require pushing the numeric keys less would be the most desirable. For example on the numeric 2 key, if you press it once, you get A, press it twice, you get B, press it three times, you get C. Therefore, under my theory "A" would be the most desirable (and therefore "premium"), "B" slightly less and "C" the least desirable. If you play this out through the whole keypad, the most desirable letters (requiring only one push of a key) are A, D, G, J, M, P, T, and W. The next tier (requiring pushing a key twice) would include B, E, H, K, N, Q, U and X. Finally the least desirable letters (requiring three or more pushes of a key) are C, F, I, L, O, R, S, V, Y and Z. Admittedly this theory goes out the window if people are using pda's or if the keypads on their cell phones are configured differently from mine, but I figured in any case, it was interesting.
