ITmedia News: New domain '.tel' to appear in 2006

The Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has approved an application for a new domain, '.tel,' used to store contact information for businesses and individuals. The final contract has not been signed yet, but Telnic, which had applied for the .tel domain, is expected to start offering it by the end of 2006.

However, at the general public level (not general PC users), the recognition of domains other than '.com' is not so high. Considering that, it's hard to say whether it's an effective product or not ...

There is no guarantee that the .tel deal will be successful, but Mr. Mahdavi expects the deal to be completed in three to six months. 'It will take another six months for the (preparatory) sunrise period after that. I will meet with the community somewhere in 2006 to develop the .tel domain. After that, the .tel domain can be bundled with other communication services. Will be, 'he said.

What is the usage other than the phone number domain ... Telekura? (terrible)
