  The PH ccTLD administrator back in 2000 wanted to turn .PH
into Phones, the TLD for mobile phones.  This raised a ruckus in the
local internet community which suddenly saw that it had absolutely no
control nor voice on how its ccTLD was being administered by a so-called
"trustee" of the local internet community.

  How about .MO for mobile?  B-)
