Mobile devices increasingly can handle fully functional websites. Why does it need mobile optimized domains?
True - mobile devices increasingly CAN handle fully functional websites. However, it is not necessarily a question of a mobile optimized DOMAIN, but mobile optimized CONTENT. So the question to ask is:
Is the TLD content served on a mobile content useful to the user? 9 out of 10 TLD web content is too large and cumbersome to navigate on a mobile device.
The best solution is to program a redirect on your TLD website that will recognize any request coming from a mobile device and deliver mobile optimized content to the mobile device.
Try this:
On PC: http://www.exploregeorgia.org
On mobile device: http://www.exploregeorgia.org (exactly the same URL)
... and see the difference.
