Dot-mobi: Web on phones

Further evidence the Net's soon to be more mobile than fixed: the new dot-mobi address. Soon we'll be able to tell what Web sites are specifically designed for cellphone screens, CNET reports, referring to ICANN's approval of the top-level domain (TLD) at its meeting in Luxembourg last week. "The first Web sites for mobile devices, which will be fit for a small screen and limited memory and bandwidth, will be ready in 2006. Mobile Web services will also use geographic information to take advantage of the changing location of a mobile device, for instance to find the nearest hospital," CNET adds. Other new TLDs include .eu, .travel, .jobs, and .xxx (for more on .xxx, see "Net to have red-light district").
