How is .tel different from other TLDs?

Existing Top Level Domains

All existing Top Level Domains (e.g. .com, .net, .org, .fr, .mobi…) serve the same purpose: they map domain names to web sites, as shown below.

* When you input a traditional domain name, www.ExaBytes.com.my, into your browser, it queries the Domain Name System (DNS).
* The DNS replies with an IP Address, 210.48.145.171.
* Your browser uses the IP address to locate Exabytes’ website.



.tel Domain Name

The .tel has a very different purpose. It maps domain names to contact information and keywords stored directly in the DNS, enabling companies to use the DNS as a data store, as shown below.

* When you input a .tel domain, Hertz.tel, into your web browser, it queries the DNS.
* The DNS does not return an IP Address as with other domains. Rather, it returns the contact information and keywords that Hertz chose to store directly in the DNS.
* You can then click on one of the contact details provided by Hertz (tel, email, skype, etc…) and be immediately connected.


.tel domain name registration around the corner

ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers has approved the creation of a new Top Level Domain (TLD) for use on the Internet - .tel. The new domain name is aimed primarily at telecoms providers. The .tel domain name was approved by ICANN on May 2006 and it is sponored by telnic. The .tel is a service that allows individuals and businesses alike to store and manage all their contact information and keywords directly in the DNS without the need to build, host or manage a website.

The idea is for people to use .tel domain name as a way of communicating directly with the person or company behind a particular Web site, using technologies such as voice over Internet Protocol, e-mail or Short Message Service (SMS). Telnic used some examples of the domain name like: OdurindeLuqman.tel or VelnetWeb.tel.

“The .tel domain name 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,” Telnic’s chief executive, Khashayar Mahdavi, said in a statement.

“The days of needing to remember several telephone numbers, numerous VoIP or instant message identities and other points of contact for our social and professional networks are over. By leveraging innovative DNS (Domain Name System) technology, the .tel domain will allow anyone to publish and control, in real time, how they can be reached,” Mahdavi said.
