gTLD Revolution CEO Dean Shannon, serial internet entrepreneur and founder of successful internet businesses such as Dark Blue Sea, Fabulous.com and many more, has announced his intention to revolutionise the Internet domain space by providing genuine choice and flexibility for Internet users worldwide while generating competition and much-needed price pressure on Verisign’s .com monopoly.

Mission

The company gTLD Revolution is applying for the ability to be the registrar for a number of proposed new top-level domains. Motivated by the idea that there is currently a lack of meaningful remaining generic top-level domain names available, the company hopes to provide alternative as well as useful domain name extensions. Among them will be the domain .phone.

The new .phone top-level domain will provide a dedicated home for all things telephony-related. gTLD Revolution will be working with handset manufacturers, telecommunicaiton providers and software developers to create a range of innovations to enhance navigation and usability. Potential uses of the .phone extension could be any of the following:

• mobile.phone
• home.phone
• satellite.phone

Advantages

The top-level domain .phone will be aggressively priced at the registry level to promote growth and user acceptance.
