Windows Phone Thoughts: Microsoft & Nokia Partner Together for Mobile Top-Level Domain

"Microsoft and Nokia, along with a group of key computer companies and cell phone service providers, have formed a joint venture to distribute domains names for mobile devices. The venture aims to create a widely recognized mobile Web site naming system to simplify Internet access by cell phone customers. For instance, the system would give people a better idea of what Web address to enter in their cell phones, executives of the venture said Wednesday.

Approval of the venture hinges on ICANN's (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) acceptance of an additional domain to the Web's navigation system. The Internet address administrator approves so-called top-level domains such as .com, .org and .net. The group believes it can help fuel interest in cell phone Internet services, which carriers are relying on to find new revenue sources, by making the mobile Web easier to navigate."

Hmm. Thoughts?
