All change at .mobi

Filed under: Domains — Othello @ 12:39 pm

The founder of dotMobi - the company behind the first mTLD (mobile TLD) - stepped down last week, to spend time with his family.

Neil Edwards returns back to the US from Dublin where .mobi was based to pursue other projects, having successfully taken the idea behind a non-geographic domain extension from concept through launch.

Despite massive hype, advertising campaigns, attempts to make the mTLD “premium”and even take up by some of the worlds largest corporate entities - Disney and Sony for example - overall adoption of the TLD to-date has been poor, with it almost entirely being occupied by cyber-squatters hoping for big payoffs when it eventually does become popular.

In order to drum up some interest in {domain}.mobi Othello::Names have significantly reduced the pricing on new dot mobi registrations permamently

So grab you domain.mobi now while its still available at .MOBI Domain Registration
