Actually it was the .mobi registry that held back the best names and did not released them on when the .mobi were first allowed to be registered. The registry has been auctioning them off at the live traffic shows and online through sedo.com. Both porn.mobi and tickets.mobi were names that were auctioned off by the .mobi registry. Johnny

My question is "why would someone pay these big numbers for something that gives them... nothing but blue sky speculation?". The same theory could be applied to the .to and .ws marketing ploy's. Basically, .mobi is a small group of insiders who monopolized ALL the choice names, and 'created' an inflated marketplace, where suckers- i mean buyers buy on enthusiasm and hype, and not any fundamentals: like for instance, hard type in traffic numbers. "Hey our .mobi got 6000 hits last month!" well, I mean type ins that arent the domain owner, other domainers, or web developers.
