Mobile Top Level Madness!!!! 1666622444 !!!!
What’s that number? Well, that’s the TEN (count ‘em) mobile keyboard button pushes that will be required for simply typing the END of the url!!!!
Who even thinks these things up? At least .WAP was a simple ‘1927′ - let me guess, it wasn’t a european who came up with this .mobi top level domain - they(we)’ve used mobiles for a hell of a lot longer for mobile sites and data access.
I’m sorry, but though I like the idea of a mobile TLD, but to have to hit my keyboard TEN TIMES to type in the just the last past of a mobi url is just ‘3338822255444664022277729999999‘!!!!

if it wasn’t $300 i’d get an .mp address, https://www.get.mp/. makes alot more sense.
I want one from Sierra Leone!
indeed - what unthinking idiocy.
unless all our phones become touch screen-based. Maybe it should have been .dm? it stands for dot mobile and is just 36.
This is great, look forward to looking into every area. Thanks for being there.
