.mobi Introduction, DotMobi Basics, dot Mobi Concepts

1. .mobi is a top-level domain approved by ICANN as a sponsored TLD. It will be restricted to mobile devices and sites providing services for them. It is sponsored by a consortium of companies which includes Three, Ericsson, GSM Association, Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung, Syniverse, T-mobile, Telefonica, TIM and Vodafone.

2. The .mobi top level domain will make it easier to access Internet services using mobile devices.

3. The .mobi extension indicates to the user that the content has been optimized for mobile devices.

DotMobi is the newest TLD on the block. It is expected to make a significant difference to mobile users’ experience of the Internet.

The sites having .mobi as the extension need to have their home page in XHTML, in order to signify that they are mobile ready.

dotMobi is currently in its sunrise registration period, where trademark holders can register their domains. It will be open to public starting Sept 22, 2006

Mobinomy.com is the first .com directory for .mobi sites online. While .mobi sites will be used primarily through the mobile, there will exist a need for users to check out relevant .mobi sites on the web. Mobinomy.com attempts to cater to this need.

Mobinomy.com plans to have the most comprehensive listing of .mobi sites online. This list will be useful for those looking for content compatible for browsing on their mobile phones.

We have just started compiling the directory. If you own and operate a .mobi site, we request you to send in the details of your site to info@mobinomy.com for inclusion in our directory.

The .mobi directory @ Mobinomy.com will be online in the next few weeks, once registrations for the sunrise period get over.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Registration for dotMobi domains has started for the general public – that is, you and me. It is currently in the First Landrush Period where domain names will still carry a premium price. Landrush 2 Period begins Oct 10, from when on anyone can register any available, non-trademark protected dot mobi names for normal prices. (News: Landrush 2 has just begun: Oct 11, 2006)
