Creating mobile-specific top level domain names will soon be possible with ICANN's
recent approval of the
controversial .mobi domain. At
PalmAddicts (via
BBC News) we read:
Soon it could be much easier to browse the net on a mobile phone. Approval for a .mobi domain has been given by the organisation that oversees the net's addressing system. Websites that use the .mobi domain will be created specifically for mobile devices such as handsets and handheld computers to make them easy to find and browse. The first websites using the new .mobi domain are expected to appear by late summer next year.
