There is nothing about .mobi that isn't "open access." The .mobi domain isn't a proprietary platform; it is open source programming that indicates to end users that content was thought-through for their on-the-go needs. The .mobi domain does have three programming rules attached to it that are best practices recommended by the W3C (use XHTML programming, no frames and no "www."). The point of .mobi is to help site owners better indicate they understand mobility as a channel in the same that that a co.uk or .jp names helps them indicate country-specific content.
