"$300.00 USD per dotMP™ Commercial Site per year (one .mp domain name included)"

They market .mp as mobile phones, but it's actually the country code for the Northern Mariana Islands.

Just as .TV markets television but is the official extension of Tuvalu.

they should get google or microsoft etc to support them.. then maybe it is a different story

so now, after the launch of .mobi, where are they heading??

It should be a ccTLD

.mp - Northern Mariana Islands?

At that price, I think I will stick with .mobi

I cant actually imagine them doing much business now since the mobi extension was released.

I don't think .mp is supposed to stand for "mobile phone".
