The fight is here to stay for a while and I think both are winners. The "all business is local" saying will make local "M-dot" sites more logical where the biggest local one is the "M-dot"com. At the same time we see a very clear trend of internationalization which speaks for dotMobi. No single market is any longer big enough for real success. Most big sites today are organized in many local ones. It makes sense for them (read often dotcom)  to use the "M-dot" when they enter the mobile arena. Local tax authorities and geographically divided contracts in general also speaks for the "M-dot" road. But if you are a true independent multinational company the dotMobi sign is the one to chose. Do they exist ? Don´t forget that on Internet you have a name but in the mobile you are a number.What if that number becomes your domain name or your name becomes that number ? If I had a homepage for mobile use I would probably use my number as the domain name and go for dotMobi. As always its also a matter of what I have to pay. There will not be any free lunches for operators and telcos. Its very hard to predict and I am actually more confused now than 20 minutes ago. Please forgive me for my language I´m a Swede.
