It was reported last week that companies like Nokia, Vodafone and Microsoft proposed a new top level domain be formed that would indicate that the sites under it would be “specially tailored for a mobile device”. Is this really necessary?
I do not use cell phone much, let alone for web browsing. But I suspect that those who do, visit sites that they visit often. Meaning they navigate either through inline links or bookmarks. So are we trying to solve a non-problem?
Granting that there has to an explicit indication that a site supports mini browsers, then why not use “mmm” prefix, rather than “www” prefix in the URL. Why do we have to create a new TLD and force all the companies to register under it as well?
