dotMobi is unique – it is the first top level domain dedicated to delivering the Internet to mobile devices. dotMobi guides mobile users to made-for-mobile Internet content and data services by using the .mobi suffix at the end of a Web address instead of .com or .org. The .mobi suffix is designed to act as a clear signal to users that the Web site has been specifically designed to be accessed and browsed using the small screen display of a typical mobile device. As mobile device penetration continues to outpace PCs by 2:1, the use of the Internet on the mobile device will be a key requirement. Supported by a cross section of the most visible mobile industry players and application providers, dotMobi is the default address for content and data services that are tailor made for the mobile experience.
