.mobi in great demand

A report from Internet statistics provider Ipwalk says that the new .mobi domain saw a significant number of registrations within the first 48 hours of opening up to brands with registered trademarks. During the first two days of the so called sunrise period, brands registered approximately 5,000 domain names (if you remember, China Mobile registered its .mobi domain). The sunrise period for trademarked brands, began on June 12 and will last for 70 days. Web Host Industry Review has a story.
