the companies already have a site www.mtldinfo.com im surprised they didnt go with mtldmobile.com its pretty interesting to see how these huge companies want alternative extensions which will work thru the net as well,,,,,,according to the site its either going to be .mobile or .mob get ready for the next land rush!!theres already a site up www.mobiletld.com selling though don;t look legit,,,

Hi,

Any idea(s) how valuable these will be....as compared to .com and the other TLD's?


Thanks,
Da,

Depends how good the mobile site is developed i s'pose but i can really see even the generic one worders being worth millions.

Personal Opinion....

The idea is the content will be ONLY formatted for mobile devices.

Why not mtld.info? (Why "fake" the "info" extension with [something]info.com instead of using the real .info?)

Maybe they will use an acronym to shorten wireless up like WLS.. ...............
