Sure its like the next big internet revolution its stable and mtld is giving it twists and turns to make it a success and i think doing a pretty good job more and more ppl will be using internet via mobile so its a huge market out there i already got my name ehsan.mobi and some others dictionary words too<!--content-->
I think you're missing something completely here. Released a new TLD doesn't mean anything. When 'real' people think of a website they automatically think of .com/.co.uk/.net/.org. That wont ever change so for this to be effective its gonna need some sort of national (maybe even global) awareness campaign that won't be worth the money spent style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />Thanks for the info! <img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
