According to a report from Internet statistics provider Ipwalk, the new .mobi domain saw a significant number of registrations within the first 48 hours of opening up to brands with registered trademarks. Brands registered approximately 5,000 domain names between June 12 and June 14. The sunrise period for trademarked brands, which began June 12, will last for 70 days. The controversial top-level domain has many critics who claim there is no need to "reinvent the Web" for mobile.
