.mobi .mobi ChannelNN domains - Any thoughts?

[rookie7]

Feeling a litle frisky with the godaddy sale, I was looking for a new angle on .mobi and thought of regging ChannelNN.mobi domains (i.e. Channel10.mobi etc.). Not surprisingly, Channels 1-24 were already regged. However, almost every other channel was open and nearly all of those that were opened were already regged in numerous other extensions. True that many of those regs are just parked w/ landing pages, but I think it may be an area with potential since any media company or station that wants to reg its .com will almost certainly want to be able to deliver mobile content as well (particularly if you are dealing with a news station). With that in mind, I regged Channels 25-35 plus 50, 51, 99 and 100. Anyone else see potential here? Thanks.

I'm sure you may get potential endusers at a certain point for some of them. Where I live, there are a few channels that go by their channel number -- so there is definitely enduser potential when you consider the whole world there!

Alternatively, you could perhaps serve content relative to that channel in particular areas. I.e., where I live, Spike TV is Channel 16 -- perhaps Channel16.mobi could serve information relevant to Spike TV viewers?

Just my thoughts... I do think you have a great idea here... Especially at this point in the game. Best of luck

Thanks, Reece, your input is appreciated. I should have specified, part of the potential I see for these domains depends on my ability to develop them...
