Quote from [url]mTLDInfo.com[/url]:

3, GSM Association, HP, Microsoft Corp., Nokia, Orange, Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd., Sun Microsystems and Vodafone will submit an application for a Top Level Domain for the mobile industry from Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) by the end of the current application round.

If the application is successful and the Top Level Domain is granted by ICANN, 3, GSM Association, HP, Microsoft Corp., Nokia, Orange, Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd., Sun Microsystems and Vodafone have agreed to form a new joint venture, a Registry Company, to manage the mobile TLD.

Thought:
If mTLD(mobile top level domain) approved, the .mobile domain name can be used to identify your mobile phone number. No need to memorize looonnng phone number anymore, remember only the .mobile name! Integrate Internet and mobile devices together...

I am looking forward for it. :)

  • I would love to see how they handle the registeration of .mobile domains. I mean wouldn't thta leave too much into the hands of the "rich" and businesses such that they will snap up all the potential domains similar to what happen to the TLDs then leaving us (the man in the street) with ermmm... somelonglousyuneasytoremember.mobile? :D

    well, for sure the nice names will be reserved or bid at very high price.
    you will not get Nokia.mobile or Microsoft.mobile, of coz. :)
