This news confirms my bullishness on India, and but doesn't change my opinion of .mobi as a waste of space.

it has got nothing to do with the .mobi domains i guess..

get a grip.

with 1+ billion people in inidia, there are plenty possibilities for mobi or any other extension.

thanks fred for the news!

Mobile Internet, and .Mobi, are 2 different things. I have to always remind myself of this. Mobile Internet does not need or require .Mobi

They might have a marriage made in heaven in the future, but right now they are just starting to date each other... not even engaged yet. And there's no guarantee that Mobile Internet success will do anything for .mobi

As far as INDIA... I suspect just about everything over there but sacks of dirt are being invested in because the amazing prospects they have for growth in so many areas over the next 10-20 years.

At the same time you gotta remember that much of the population is still poor, living in under-developed regions.
