The Mind Boggles: 400,000 .mobi Registrations
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 08:45 AM
"dotMobi, the company behind the first and only Internet address designed specifically for mobile phones, today announced more than 400,000 .mobi domains have been registered in 104 countries since the domain's launch in October 2006. As a comparison, only 100,000 .com domain names were registered in the first ten years of that domain's existence. The growing number of .mobi registrations illustrates that content developers are focused on delivering quality sites and applications to mobile phones."
Has the internet turned upside-down? Why do 400,000 registrants believe that creating a separate mobile web is the way to go? Mobile-friendly templates can be easily applied to an existing gTLD (take yours truly, for example), so visitors of a site - whether they be on a PC or mobile device - need only remember one web address, not two. 400,000 - the mind truly boggles.
