From: "Glenn Meadows" 

With the .mobi sites I've visited there are very little in the way of adds,
just a clickable link (and small graphic) at the top of the page.

The content is quite clearly visible and readable, and easy to get from one
to another.  You typically get a linked list of headlines, and article
might be in 4 pages, with a MORE link a the bottom of each page, and if you
scroll past, there are other links you can click for more headlines,
different areas.

It was far easier to navigate that I expected it to be.  BUT don't try
going to CNN.com, It's a mess.  Same content presented properly at
cnn.mobi.
