Web News: New Domain Names Proposed

scapegoat · 23-March-04, 11:20 PM

New net domain names including .xxx for pornographic sites and .mobi for phones could be live by early 2005.

The proposal with the biggest backing is the .mobi domain for phones which has the backing of Nokia, Samsung, Microsoft and the GSM Association. Two other concerns are independently proposing a .tel domain that will do the same job.

One proposal for the .mail domain has been put forward by anti-spam workers who want to use it for storing information about legitimate e-mail servers.
