.mobi Will .mobi be the DEFAULT on phones?

[jettabosko]

That, IMHO, is the question. If not, i don't think the public will understand what dot mobi is about. If all these BIG companies supporting this extension don't promote it vigorously, it might go the way of dot tv, linger for a long long time.
The public MUST be aware of the mobi extension.

Good question jettabosko but I dont know the answer. Maybe someone in this forum can answer it.

With Opera being the paided browser version of mobile. It is hard to see them putting it as default.

If Firefox or somebody who likes .mobi makes a free web browser like Firefox mobile or something. There is a good chance you will see it as default.

It is up to the browser makers/cell phone companies to make it default.

I really don't think it will ever be the default, but only time will tell. But I do however think it will be promoted vigorously and the way they are going about the rollout provides constant pr and recognition. Verisign held .tv for years but never pushed the extension, but still it is beginning to take hold, took a lot of time, but i think .tv will see a dramatic increase in 2007. If enough buzz surrounds .mobi it will become the extension people use while on their mobiles and it most defintely won't take as long as .tv

.mobi will stand a very good chance of being the default if those that have purchased the mobi domains also do their bit to develop the names.

The corporations can do only so much and with a massive amount of mobi's being sold to domainers, its imperative that we do our bit to try and make this happen.
