Mobile Internet
Have you always wanted the world wide web in the palm of your hand?
Have you always wished it would actually work on your mobile phone?
If you tried to access the Internet through your mobile phone or mobile-ready device, chances are you encountered slow, pixely or unpredictable service. Chances are you gave up before a page loaded. Chances are you never tried again.
.mobi - a new top level domain name is dedicated to delivering the Internet to mobile devices. Massive Magazine examines how .mobi is proving popular with businesses and preparing web companies for the future.
Although mobile browsing has a way to go, manufacturers are estimating more than three billion mobile phone users by 2009, meaning mobile Internet will be the dominant platform. It's already proven that four mobile phones are sold for every personal computer so it makes sense to make mobile Internet work.
There are a couple of bugs that need to be worked out. Security for one. Companies and organizations are protecting their intellectual property by registering trademarks and names in the .mobi extension. There is still a growing number of abusive registration of trademarks and unless a company registers under the .mobi extension, it is running the risk of having its intellectual property abused.
There's a strong backing for this domain with service providers as being the earliest adopters. But now media organizations are following suit and of course, computing giants like Google are invested in bringing the Internet to the masses.
