Latvia introduced the .mobi extension to its country code domain in late 2011, allowing every holder of an .lv domain name to potentially active an .lv.mobi domain name free of charge. This move was designed to allow mobile phone users to find websites successfully on their handsets, considering 20% of all Latvian mobile phone users access the Internet daily via their phones.

Trey Harvin, CEO of dotMobi, the registry for the .mobi top-level domain, said, "Most websites are not suitable for viewing on a mobile phone, even an iPhone or Android. They are too large for a a smaller mobile screen and too slow to load. Working with NIC.lv will help Latvian companies of all sizes develop strategies to exploit the mobile Web and increase their business." [1]
