The idea of a entire TLD dedicated to the mobile market was met by criticism and skepticism by some, including [[Tim Berners-Lee]], a prominent developer of the modern Internet.<ref>[http://www.mobiledia.com/news/32782.html Mobiledia.com]</ref><ref>[http://symbian.sys-con.com/node/110150 Node, Symbian.sys-con.com]</ref> The [[W3C]] was opposed to the implementation of .mobi as they saw it as a fracturing of the web. They noted that this is the first time that sites are not delinated by their content, such as the differences in a .gov and .edu site, but in the way that content is accessed.
