There are no local residency requirements for registering a ph-domain. You can
register .ph-domains, .com.ph-domains, .net.ph-domains,.org.ph-domains and the
new i.ph-domains. The i.ph-domain, the new second level PH domain, is
specifically for individuals. The i.ph-domain domains are an economical way for
individuals to establish an Internet presence. The i.ph-domain is
uniquely geared to support blogging, the global web publishing phenomenon. It is
the world's first anonymous domain, requiring only a mobile phone and email
address to activate. Frequently, bloggers choose to expound their ideas
without revealing their identity. i.ph-domain allows this, while protecting
trademarks and intellectual property concerns by providing a means to initiate
UDRP disputes that are resolved by a neutral 3rd party. The i.ph-domain
is also one of the first domains to support IPv6, the next generation Internet
Protocol designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force to replace the current
version Internet Protocol (IPv4). In 2000, dotPH became one of the first
domain registries in the world to develop a Shared Registry System. The system
allows domain registrars to link directly to the registry back-end for real-time
domain registration, payment and management. Sometime in 2000, ph-domains
were marketed for a time as a mnemonic for the phone (other similar ccTLDs
marketed in this fashion are .fm, .am, .tv and .hi). During this period, the .PH
administrator began efforts to develop the ccTLD as the domain which combined
both Internet and telephony functionality. A technical initiative was launched
that would have linked ph-domains to mobile phones, particularly for
m-commerce. The push to link domain names with phone functionality,
particularly in the field of mobile commerce, proved to be ahead of its time.
ICANN has since approved the new .mobi domain (in 2005) and there is a current
prevalence of applications which allow fund transfers between mobile
subscribers. If the mobi-domain is taken, you may register a ph-domain,
as ph-domains are still nterpreted as domains for
"phone".
