these auctions might be good and bad for all of us. For example due to "flowers.mobi syndrome" many of the people in our community might invest into .mobi. In one year they will have to renew hundreds of names or sell them for cheap. This is very familiar situation for many landrushes, but this time there is very agressive marketing compaign from within. I never saw that kind of marketing from within domain industry to invest in extension. We don't know what interests owners or the forum, organizers of the auctions and registrars have. We, members of this community, are small fish in their game.
I see few registration phases in every domain name extension:
1. premium domain names registered - landrush
2. the rest of the dictionary registered + premium search terms , two word domains etc - landrush + first few years after that
3. OneWordPlusTwoOtherWords.something -6+ years
4. names that don't even make sense registered - 10+ years - can be seen with .com , org, .net
Here is what happens with mobi:
1. skipped - nothing to register, everything belongs to registry
2, 3, 4 - this is what people registering now
