Is it true that you can't develop a .mobi like any other TLD's. Like say putting a vBulletin forum onto a .mobi.

just one last question,
if say I didn't want to develop a .mobi I had for a mobile phone, and want to develop a full blown site. Is there a rule against that?

The rules are not quite as restrictive as some think. I underlined the minimum requirement which is that a message appear to a phone telling them they need a PC to view the site.iNod said:As what has been said. In order to comply by Dot Mobi standards. The site needs to be viewable by a phone.

What it Means
It is not the intention to restrict the uses that dotMobi registrants put their site to. However, in order to contribute to the overall usability and premium user experience of the dotMobi domain it is important that visitors to sites have the best possible experience of them, even if their devices do not support the formats that registrants wish to support. Consequently, at a minimum, visitors to dotMobi sites must receive a message that is displayable by their browser, directing them to a portion of the site that is accessible to them, or identifying the type of device that is necessary to experience the site properly.

Fundraiser said:Hey Steve,
I wasn't really correcting you, I was just showing why reading the small print can be fun. I also enjoy reading registrar and registry agreements in detail too which is really a scary thing to do. Most people probably have no idea the things they agree to in registering a domain name. At enom, they have it set up so that just logging in to your account means that you agree to any terms they may have changed in their terms of service.
I've read your posts before and notice you always try to help folks. Keep up the good work!
