Remark: the .MOBI (CHINESE IDN) TLD (…) intends to become the TLD of choice for those Chinese-speakers throughout the world who opt to use mobile devices as their first choice to access the Internet. From a press release of Afilias (13th Feb 2014): " Transliterated as “Yí Dòng,” .移动 is a domain name just like .MOBI, which is also for mobile websites. But this domain is part of a new generation of top-level domains (TLDs) that are written in native languages rather than traditional ASCII-compliant scripts like the .INFO or .MOBI TLDs. As a complementary TLD to the .MOBI domain in English, .移动 is designed to let Chinese-speakers — wherever in the world they’re located — know that a website was designed to work on a mobile device, like an Android™ tablet or an iPhone." | |||
