foxnews.mobi gone?

I noticed yesterday that the rotating cube located at the bottom left of the television screen during "O'Reilly Factor" and other Fox News shows not longer includes the "foxnews.mobi" web address.

Also, a commercial on Fox for their mobile site stated you could access fox news on your mobile device by going to foxnews.com.

I suspect lots of drops later this year.

They stopped advertising on tv a couple months ago.

Foxnews.com redirects to the mobi on mobiles. The site
also has a huge foxnews.mobi logo at the top of the page.

Well, that's some consolation.

It was never anything of substance, anyway ... as it was just a simple URL redirect (to the main .COM site)!

Bank of America also stopped using/advertising "BOFA" in many "test" regions, as well!

Regards,
Jeff

The rotating ad for foxnews.mobi on the fox news channel was replaced not with another mobile URL but with a plug for their radio broadcasts. Their FoxNews.mobi is prominently displayed on their Mobile Internet link found at Mobile - FOXNews.com

And it is not a redirect to a .com as you falsely claim, it clearly is foxnews.mobi via both a nokia n95 and an iPhone. Time to get your facts straight, but I've been suggesting that for years but when it comes to .mobi your hate gets in the way.

I'm sure if one were a fly on the wall it would be discovered that the .mobi registry paid Fox News to use .mobi.

Agreement has now clearly expired due to lack of interest.
