Mobile Internet Domains now available.
The .mobi domain for mobile optimised sites is finally, after much hooh hah and delays, open for business.According to WSJ on Monday this week selected companies were allowed to register their domains if they were members of "wireless industry associations". Hmmmm? Anyway the rest of us will be allowed to register in June. Anyone know what industry association you need to be a member of to allow registration now?
According to the CEO of the registrar "Dot-mobi makes the Internet work on phones," , would that it were that simple! Nevertheless it is good that they do realise that there is a problem.
In the meantime checkout http://google.mobi on your handset.

On further digging I found that only members of:
CTIA, CWTA, GSMA, MEF and MMA can register their mobile internet domains domains in the current period.
Also there is a style guide that .mobi sites must comply with. Looks very much to be based on W3C guidelines.
