We had this same discussion in another thread, foxnews.mobi is still using the dot com: foxnews.proteus.com
Why?
It's the easiest and shortest way to tell it's viewing audience they can get FoxNews on their mobile phone device, Period.
Ditto on that.
FoxNews.mobi of course... Doesn't really matter what page or url it takes you to, that's irrelevant.
It would take more words for someone to say; "Go to FoxNews.com on your mobile device" than it would just plastering FoxNews.mobi on the screen.
This is the only real benefit I can see for using .Mobi.
can get a lot of keywords pretty cheap too if you're looking to start a separate mobile site... since this will be an ongoing trend anyway regardless of whether the .mobi TLD exisited
im really not trying to overhype this FoxNews.mobi advertisement, it aint going to make .mobi instantly famous or nothing and i dont usually start these type of threads, but this one is noteworthy because of the huge ratings the channel has.
I am not a big fan with only 20 mobi names myself but .mobi is no where near dead what with the highly ranked Fox News plus a number of big banks using mobi such as chase.mobi mibank.mobi plus other financial sites, and I understand lots of mobile use involving sports at http://ESPN.MOBI and other important sites.

I remember seeing a news item somewhere that some recent statistics have shown that 66% of all mobile web traffic is from the iPhone.
I'll post a link when I find it.
If that's the case, you can say good bye to all your .mobi for the mobile web argument...the iPhone surfs normal .com websites as good as a computer
Why not register a .tel?hello good sir:
welcome to the internet!
I hear they're all the rage these days.
You kids and your internet.![]()
no they're not, not anymore
full promotion 24/7 on TV, promotion on their com site for the .mobi site wasn't good enough, you and a few other cronies always harped on about the 'redirect' without understanding it was the developer, however many times it was explained.
well, this case is closed now. every box is ticked now for foxnews.mobi
no redirect
suck on that![]()
No surprise there...Fox news has a history of getting things wrong.
