.tv or .mobi for long term investment?

[scoops22]

If you were planning on buying a domain to hold as an investment for 15 years and had a choice of buying the same domain name in either .mobi or .tv for nearly the same price which one would you choose and why?Which one do you think will hold the most value in 15 years?

Do not buy domains with a 15 year plan.
It is very likely that people wont even use domain names in 15 years.

no way will people use domain names in 15 years from now

What are you guys talking about?

Geez.

I'd go with EITHER as long as the name is nice. Don't go brandable for these extensions yet. Generic, LLL's, multiple words that fit the extension, etc.

Yeah, I hope to still have many of my domains 15 years from now. While there is the chance that a new method of accessing information will come along, I see no sign of it.

My preferance would be .MOBI. Both that and TV are a gamble that a market segment of the internet will, at least partly, embrace the newer TLD . TV is currently very centralized and production costs for content are high. Content is used once and then the user wants something different. Mobile web has need of many more sites than TV, and people order pizza every week. Plus the renewals are cheaper.

But for a long term play I still would (and have) put most of my money on . COM.

I would buy both .Mobi and .TV if I have the chance.

It is imposible to say which is better after 15 years

That's right. You both should transfer all your domains to me now.
