.mobi suffix for mobile users - all because of frustration?

We get a new domain suffix, the .mobi suffix. Specifically made for those who access the Internet wirelessly as it will contain special websites prepared for small screens, limited memory and bandwidth.

The reason behind?

Is it frustration that mobile users still only use their mobile phone for SMS and voice services?

Those who pushed for the suffix - and we talk about companies such as Hutchison 3, GSM Association, Ericsson, Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung, Telefonica Moviles, T-Mobile and Vodafone - say in a statement: "As .mobi will encourage the usage of advanced functionalities in mobile devices, the market potential for those devices will increase." Always this damn consumers, right?
