.mobi .Mobi Vision

[binaryman]

Many topics on .Mobi revolve around the idea that only a few select topics will be searched for.
If the idea for .MOBI was based only on the idea that mobile users would use it almost exclusively to search for such terms as maps,weather,tides,surf reports,stock-markets,news,sports-results, hotels,taxi's,travel-services, music-downloads,ringtones,games and a few others I might have left out, then IMHO the big money backers such as Microsoft,Samsung,Vodaphone and Nokia would not have seen such a big market in it as they have. In fact the whole idea behind .Mobi is to give users the assurance that the .mobi site they visit will guarantee them fast and mobile compliant websites. Now if those mobi investors thought that only the abovementioned themes would be visited they would not have seen the need for .mobi as those themes have been available in many forms for a long time already on many walled garden type sites in a mobile friendly form. No the vision must obviously be for sites covering the same spectrum of topics as on a home pc to be visited by mobile surfers.

I agree with this. People most definitely want to have the information they access on their PC on their mobile device. I need the net. For work, for home, for my friends, etc. In fact, I'm buying a a new phone with a qwerty keypad and a monthly unlimited net usage package in a few weeks. Just because I want and need my information wherever I am.

I can really see Mobi taking off. The other day I was laying in by bed trying to go to sleep. My computer was off and I really wanted to check something out on the internet. It would take me about 3 minutes to boot up my computer, but if my cell phone net worked it would take me about 15 seconds to access it.

Even though 3 minutes is a short period of time, my generation and those youngin kids need that instant gratification, wherever they are. I only want to wait seconds to get that info, not minutes by starting or finding my pc.

I can say one thing for sure with 100% accurary. The mobile net will be huge!!! Unfortunately I don't know if .mobi is going to be huge aswell, but I certainly hope it is.

Thinking Globally

Most of the world's 6 billion people have a cellphone more than they have a computer. The masses will have access to the internet as the phone evolves to the internet PDA, and that internet access , to all desired information, will come via the cellphone screen. Great for .mobi
