New Mobile Domain Another Bad Idea
From CircleID. Interesting that it seems that specialized, industry pushed TLDs get a lot more notice from ICANN than the average schmuck who wants a new gTLD. Well, maybe not so surprising after all.
You may have seen a new proposal for a "mobile" top-level domain name for use by something called "mobile users" whatever they are. (The domain will not actually be named .mobile, rumours are they are hoping for a coveted one-letter TLD like .m "to make it easier to type on a mobile phone.) Centuries ago, as trademark law began its evolution, we learned one pretty strong rule about building rules for a name system for commerce, and even for non-commerce.
Nobody... [CircleID]
