I think a lot of money is about to change hands. And some Irish guys are going to become multi-millionaires.


At the moment Mobile Top Level Domain (also known as “dotMobi”), the Dublin-based company that was awarded the contract for maintenance and operation of .mobi is currently accepting registrations only from members of wireless industry trade associations (including wireless carriers), mobile device manufacturers, and major media companies that wish to provide a mobile version of their current websites. Registration opened Monday, but will only exclusively open to the groups named above until August 28th, when registration will be opened to the general public.
