.tel – more like .hype

Hurry, rush, grab – The Times reports that yet another top-level domain has gone live.
According to Telnic, the company that runs the .tel registry, businesses and individuals can manage all their contact information through their .tel domain – sort of a unified communication hub.
And boy, at just $300 for the first three years, isn’t it a steal?
What’s next – .con?
“.tel is your place on the internet, which will act like a switchboard.” said Kash Mahdavi, the chief executive of Telnic, the London-based company that runs the .tel registry. “You can say, ‘Here are my Facebook details, here is my mobile number, and people will always be able to find you’.”

Hi Anand,
Thanks for your interest and your comments. You’ve obviously noticed we’re in the premium pricing period. .tel domains come right down to $10 upwards from March 24th which, with no web hosting or development costs, is very much in line with other gTLDs. And much less than you’d pay for a mobile phone contract for a year for example. Which is easier to remember – a name or a number?
Regards,
Justin Hayward
