Why .mobi?
Although
mobile devices and the networks that support them are
improving, it seems like the mobile Web is almost a secret
these days because websites can be difficult to locate and
have little content when you find them.
And yet,
with four mobile phones purchased against one personal
computer, there is a world of people whose main access point
to the Internet is a mobile device.
And most
important, your desired name will be still available with .mobi.
You may have missed .com name for your organization, but
with .mobi surely you will not if you are not making any
further delay.
What
is .mobi?
.mobi can
be termed as an alternative to .com when it comes to
accessing internet on mobile. Although internet on mobile is
old, it has still not gained acceptance from people
worldwide due to some of its limitations compared to its
desktop counterpart.
In order
to create awareness and attract people towards internet on
mobile, .mobi TLD has been introduced. The name .mobi itself
denotes a TLD especially for mobile devices. And with all
the good .com names taken away, .mobi becomes an excellent
choice for people who look for creating websites which can
be accessed by mobile devices.
Advantages of .mobi
-
Easy
recognition.
-
Easy
availability of good domain names.
-
Specially introduced for internet on mobile devices.
What
is the Future of .Mobi?
According
to an industry estimate, wireless services market will hit
an estimated $698 billion in yearly sales by 2009 as mobile
phones replace the PC as the primary communication device.
Data services will account for 21 percent, or $147 billion.
This
shows how popular mobile internet will be by the year 2009.
And with the introduction of .Mobi, it will certainly be a
boost for the current market.
