Domain Name for Mobile Industry Issued

Name Com has issued a new domain name designated for members of the mobile industry and trademarks holders. The new domain name is .Mobi and Name Com now accepts registrations. With more and more users browsing the Internet with mobile devices, the new .Mobi domain name will keep users connected on the go.

During the first and second phases of the .Mobi sunrise period, mobile industry members and trademark holders will have the opportunity to register their trademarks as .Mobi names on a ?first come, first serve? basis. ?We believe .Mobi has incredible potential,? noted William Mushkin, Name Com CEO. He added, ?Imagine more than 1.7 billion mobile users with access to content designed specifically for their mobile screen. Fast Internet connections, mobile phones as web servers, and geotargetting based on user location will provide for a stunning array of .Mobi applications."

DotMobi CEO Neil Edwards adds, ?dotMobi is excited to have Name.com working to ensure that members of participating mobile industry associations and trademark holders can register their .Mobi domain names. With four mobile phones being purchased to every one PC, there are millions of mobile users who are ready for mobile Internet browsing and searching. In addition, with a .Mobi domain name from Name.com, consumers will be able to use the Web as easily on a mobile phone as they do from a standard PC."
