ICANN Approves .tel TLD
ICANN has approved the .tel TLD, paving the way for its use worldwide as a telephone directory TLD. For example, Apple could continue to use www.apple.com as its main site, but opt to use www.apple.tel as its support, public relations, and customer service listing. Another use for .tel could be in the mobile space, as companies wishing to make their contact info more accessible to mobile users could publicize "domain.tel" as a way to reach them from a smartphone.
A distribution contract for the new TLD was awarded to London-based Telnic.
The new TLD will be available in 2007.
