Been watching .mobi for a while now and besides today, more .mobi have been hand registered rather than dropped over the last week. I know there's a lot of dislike from older domainers on this extension, but given the 4N buying recently and the 2000 or so LLL left, I believe there will be a market for 1L-3L and 1N-4N. Beyond that I'm not too sure. 3N.mobi CHIPS are worth low-mid XXX right now.
Yeah you are correct mate..I have been watching the sudden rise of registering the 3L.mobi domains recently. Letz see what the upcoming days churns out.
