Mobile Top Level Domain (mTLD), the company responsible for the .mobi top level domain has announced rollout plans for the domain name.

.mobi will be the world's first domain name optimised for consumers using the Internet on a mobile device. Rollout will commence with the 'Sunrise Registration Period" for trademark holders in June 2006, followed by the 'General Registration' in September.

 mTLD says it is working closely with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), registrars, copyright bodies and site owners to ensure that trademarks are properly protected during the Sunrise Period.

The Sunrise period will be preceded by week long "Limited Industry Sunrise" during which organisations in mobile industry will be able to register their trade and service marks. dotmobi will then be available for registration by the general public in September 2006.

Companies and individuals who want to register can get their dotmobi domain names through participating ICANN accredited registrars.
