Telnic, the .TEL registry operator, have announced there are now over 200,000 .TEL domain names registered, the milestone being achieved within the first two months of General Availability.”This is a truly remarkable milestone considering current economic conditions and with the attention of the world on global events, but proves that a simple but compelling service under the control of the individual has significant potential,” said Khashayar Mahdavi, CEO of Telnic.”As early adopters start using the .tel as their single point of contact, more and more individuals and businesses are seeing that it’s an incredibly useful way to manage the complexity of communications choices in one single place online.”Part of the success of .TEL is due to the innovative ways in which Telnic have approached the reselling of domain names. One of these resellers is the German directory services specialist iWelt (www.iwelt.de) while another is new directory services entrants such as US-based Industrial Web Search (www.industrialwebsearch.com). Adding such resellers adds to the opportunity of spreading .TEL into audiences not previously targeted by domain name resellers and registrars.”The innovations that the community around the .tel is building means that every day we are seeing new purposes and opportunities for revenue generation, from individuals promoting themselves with the .tel domains online through to large organisations completely refreshing their existing business models fuelled by .tel technology,” Mahdavi added. “It’s an exciting time for us and one that many still have the opportunity to participate in. This is just the beginning.”
