New Net Battle Over ".mobile" Looming

Posted by timothy on from the what-about-dot-family dept.

John IPsen writes "A group of big companies, including Nokia, Vodafone and Microsoft, today applied to ICANN to have a new ".mobile" domain in the next round of new Internet domains for connecting phones and PDAs to the Internet. But while they say they aren't aware of any competition, it seems that some others have been preparing their bids for a lot longer and a big battle may be brewing. More here."

  1. BAN MOBILE PHONES, NOW. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Today, this very morning, while commuting to my work 9 kilometers south from here, I was run over by a 13-year-old girl wielding a mobile phone.

    We were both on bikes (push-bikes, for your English folks) and collided head on at v-diff of about 20 km/h.

    She nearly broke an arm, and I landed in the bushes (luckily not meeting a tree on the way down).

    This is absolutely the worst form of 19-century "technology" bringing our lifestyles down to the century of coal and steam that I know of.

    For the love of technology (i.e., 21st century technology) come up with something sane !
