04 apr 2009 - Huge increase in numbers of mobile internet sites
dotMobi domain registry has reported the number of mobile websites increased sevenfold over the past year.
The actual number may even higher, as there is no definition as to what constitutes a mobile domain. Some sites have a .mobi extension. Some use a sub domain. Still others use a longer URL, and some just let users key in the regular desktop name and detect the browser type automatically.
However dotMobi appears to take this into account, saying that there are now roughly 1.1 million mobile site addresses worldwide, compared to only 150,000 mobile Web sites last year. "While the 'wap' identifier, used primarily by legacy sites from the initial WAP era, still represents 22 percent of all mobile-friendly Internet addresses, dotMobi forecasts its market share will taper off in the year ahead," the report said.
The report estimated that approximately 0.8 percent of all domains feature mobile internet features and content today.
