    Hello,

    I was wondering if .mobi is gaining any interest in Japan. Does anyone know how .mobi is doing there? I have registered several .mobi domains pertaining to Japan and Tokyo and would like to see them developed or sold.

    Cheers,
    Erik

    You would think a domain name for a mobile would be a little shorter than 4 characters. Why not .mo? Maybe you can program the phone to automatically add the domain name.
