It emerged this week that ICANN (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has unanimously approved the creation of the new .Tel Top Level Domain (TLD) and awarded the contract to Telnic Limited.
"The .Tel domain offers the first genuinely different use of domains since .com was first created. It will provide seamless integration of existing methods of communication with emerging technologies like Voice over IP (VoIP),” observed Khashayar Mahdavi, CEO of Telnic.
According to Telnic, the .Tel domain will enable people to reach a business from any Internet enabled device (computer or mobile) simply by typing, for example, “Hertz.tel”. The user will then be able to connect directly to a Hertz representative or navigate through a list of services that Hertz may offer.
In addition, individuals will be able to use the .Tel domain to publish and update their contact information directly in the DNS.
Telnic Limited is a UK-based technology company, and was founded in 1998.
