Technorati tags: .tel domains, .tel TLD, new TLD 

 

ICANN (Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers) has approved the creation of .tel TLD (Top Level domain) this Monday.

"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," Telnic CEO Khashayar Mahdavi said in a statement. "By leveraging innovative DNS technology, the .Tel domain will allow anyone to publish and control, in real time, how they can be reached." The company plans to release free applications that would be able to take advantage of such services.
