Dot Mobi for Mobile Community

Europe : Members of the mTLD Initiative, which include T-Mobile, announced the creation of a joint venture – mTLD Top Level Domain, Ltd., and the completion of a contract with Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This formalizes the creation of the .mobi Internet domain for the mobile community.

mTLD Top Level Domain, Ltd. is committed to creating a registry service to the .mobi domain, which will serve as a reliable and recognizable mechanism for Internet content and services that are specifically tailored to a mobile experience. This will thereby promote considerable opportunities to the telecommunications, mobile, Internet and media industries. The current estimate is that the first domain names will be available during the first half of 2006.
