Hmmm ...
For instance, Internet addresses ending in ".mobi" would allow sites
built for the small screens of mobile phones.

another domain like
ibm-mobile
miscrosoft-mobile
and so on, but rather have a new TLD where they could put
ibm.mobi
microsoft.mobi
and so on.
There is no need for a .mobi (and why the hell don't they use .mobile)
domain in order to deliver optimized web pages/sites.
IMHO all these have their origin in that the "semantic web" is at best
a slow starter and they try to put sematics into the web by adding
"semantic TLDs".
So in the future we will see a lot more sponsored requests for new TLDs
like >>insert index of yellow pages<<.
