ICANN Approves .Tel Domain Name
ICANN has approved a new top-level domain .Tel awarding a contract to British company, Telnic.
ICANN’s board made the decision last Tuesday, said Andrew Robertson, a spokesman for the organisation but it was overshadowed by ICANN’s rejection at the same meeting of the .xxx domain name.
Telnic, which applied for the domain in October 2000, says it envisages creating a universal text and navigation system for contact information over the Internet. Mobile device users could communicate and access the services of organisations or individuals with .tel domain names.
On their website, Telnic explained how the new domain name .Tel could help people. For example, a user would type Hertz.tel on the mobile phone and be connected to a customer service rep for the local area. Pretty cool, isn’t it?
