.MOBI is the first and only Top Level Domain dedicated to provide access to the internet on mobile devices. .MOBI is backed by more than 13 leading Internet Content Providers and mobile operators including Google, Ericsson, Hutchinson, Microsoft, Nokia, Orascom Telecom, Samsung Electronics, T-Mobile, Telefonica Moviles, TIM, Vodafone etc.

Lets look at some hard facts and try to make some sense of the new .MOBI TLD. In 2006, more people accessed the online services from a mobile device than from a PC. There are 1.5 billion mobile phones worldwide and the WAP usage of US alone is expected to grow by a whopping 41% by 2008! The mobile web market is witnessing a rapid growth, with over 36.4 Million mobile users as of June 2006. So does the new TLD make sense now? Will it be as widely used as .Com’s?

If you want to get a .MOBI domain, depending upon who your registrar is an application form needs to be filled. The Landrush(An event where domains are registered on first come first serve basis only for the registrar companies which takes place before the registration is made public.) process will take place on 26th of September. Currently $29 (price may vary with different registrars) a year and cannot be registered for less than 2 years. .MOBI is maintained by a company based in DUBLIN, visit www.mtld.mobi for more info about the new TLD and the company.

List of a few registrars open for .MOBI domains registrations.
Enom.com
GoDaddy.com
Dotster.com

So hurry and get those Hotmail’s and Google’s you always dreamt off, on the new TLD! Good Luck!
