.mobi I like Mobi News. Especially Visa and DotMobi

[thinking1]

"dotMobi - Visa announced a strategic investment in dotMobi, a consortium of wireless industry leaders that is pioneering the use of the ".mobi" domain address and is enabling the integration of enhanced mobile commerce into the mobile Internet experience for consumers."

There's not much more about Mobi in the article but it's a great read and wireless payments will be a reality.

Although this is great news I don't think we should go overboard with excitement. Just how one person should invest in multiple things and spread their assets, Visa is doing the same thing. They are covering all grounds for mobile devices investing in mobile software groups, new rfid and barcode technologies, and mobi.

This is amazing and great to hear but this doesn't automatically guarantee mobi success. It does defintiely help make the extension stronger though.

Agreed.

I'm not sure I see how this is big news, what is VISA likely to do for .mobi?

It says that one of the world's most powerful companies is endorsing .mobi. This is good enough for me. It is even better than foxnews.mobi news, imho.

 

[goodkarmaco]

What it really says is they are going to be making sure .mobi gets monetized. If millions can pay with their mobile phones and Visa is a backer of the .mobi, that means we will soon be seeing payments thru mobi.


paymoney.mobi
paytext.mobi
textmoney.mobi

Awesome news! It made my day, +rep added.

I'm not sure I see how this is big news, what is VISA likely to do for .mobi?

What about developing:

- Visa.mobi
- Electron.mobi
- ePay.mobi
- PayMe.mobi
- Plus.mobi
- Prox.mobi
- Proximity.mobi
- vPay.mobi

:hehe: :bingo:

no more doubts

What stands out to me:

B2B shocking news and reverberations.. to uplift us all with .mobi unmeasureably..

..some people had been expressing concern and doubts about the .mobi business consortium backers.

As an outsider, we are just unable to see what is really going on.. on the inside.. common sense knows that the minds on top here are working tirelessly to get even more power; and, this Visa move exposes that alot has been going that we can't see on the inside.

They must all agree that the unfolding of Dot Mobi with the Mobile Internet revolution must be timely for public moves.. not premature.. it's not always the fastest out of the gate that wins.. (And, it's not just "fast or slow" linearly, there is a slowfast and a fastslow)

Have they not been seemingly flawless so far? Can "slower" sometimes be better in certain ways:

-More time for you to be that first mover with a developed dot mobi before corporations catch on to the trend and dominate your field with their unlimited funds?

-Or, are you in a hurry to sell your best .mobi domain for $x,xxx now? Or, with patience, $xx,xxx later or $xxx,xxx later later. Hold your best, friends.. for whatever given pace exists.. in the present.. consider the aftermarket more.. with these guys backing, in an instant..

This is the Dream Team.


Kind Regards,

Yelo

Nice graphic - rep+

"Luck is being prepared for an opportunity." Unknown

The best news in weeks!!!!!!!! (after Stocks.mobi and Girls.mobi)

This is great!

And they registered a lot .mobi domains like vPay.mobi, ePay.mobi and PayMe.mobi (also read more on dotmobiz )

This is also great news for hanogl, who is the 'lucky' owner of the beauties PAY.mobi and PrePay.mobi... Hope for him Visa wil do something with ePay or vPay...

Since one of the most recurring questions is how much/what investors have at stake with .mobi, I just wanted to add this that I read in some articles:

Visa International has invested a seven-figure sum in dotMobi, the industry group behind the mobile domain name.

Although the exact size of the investment has not been disclosed, it has secured Visa a seat on dotMobi's board of directors.

It does not say much, but at least there is a number.
