New Extension Takes On .MOBI
A new extension has been announced. The .TEL extension will launch in early December 2008. This extension could cause harm to .MOBI. It will be interesting to see how this extension will be adopted and used in comparison to .MOBI. The main idea behind the .TEL extension is:
- Integration of any and all means of communication (i.e. Phone numbers, IM, VOIP, email, social media)
- Real time publishing of your contact information on the Internet
- Full ownership of your published data
- Protection of your private data, only viewable by people you authorize
- Simple structured navigation to easily reach the most relevant information
- High speed global access optimized for mobile devices
- Multi-language, search engine-friendly structured information and keywords
This new sponsored top level domain (sTLD) was recently announced at the ICANN meeting in Paris. Sunrise applications will start to be accepted on December 3, 2008. Landrush will open on February 3, 2009 and close on March 23, 2009. General public registration will open on March 24, 2009.
More information can be found on the Telnic website. Telnic is a UK based registry operator found in 2000.

Thanks for covering our announcement. We believe that .tel will sit harmoniously with all existing top level domains from .com through to .mobi, as it provides a discovery platform for those websites dependent on the device the person is accessing the .tel through – if they’re on a PC, they’ll want to visit the .com site, if they’re on a mobile device, they’ll want to visit the .mobi site. What’s important for us is the delivery and discoverability of the contact information – whether it be web content or contact details – so that people have a choice of ways to communicate. This is the goal of .tel, not mapping domain names to IP addresses to deliver web content.
Thanks again,
Justin Hayward

I rarely comment, but I looked at a few of the responses here New Extension Takes
On .MOBI | The Domain Blog. I do have 2 questions for
you if it’s okay. Could it be just me or do a few of these comments come across as if they are coming from brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are writing on other online sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post. Could you make a list of every one of your social sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

After I initially commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment
is added I receive 4 emails with the same comment. There
has to be a means you are able to remove me from that service?
Kudos!

When overweight creates soo many unwanted ill effects
on ourr whole body and health system, do not you think it is high time for us to control andd
overcome it. Similarly it may not be good to have tress because iit supports fatness.
are taking conscious measures to adcopt pro-environmental
corporate policies to buld a positive image. Of
course, this way no moee disasters like that of the 911 bombings, but on the other hand it
may cause moee damage where the broken hearted overweight people’s tears would flow faster than that of a tsunami.

Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download
it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few
simple tweeks would really make my blog stand out.
Please let me know where you got your design. Appreciate it

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
Nevertheless think of if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more,
“pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and video clips, this site could
certainly be one of the most beneficial in its niche.
Excellent blog!

Can I simply say what a comfort to find an individual who actually knows what they
are talking about online. You certainly understand how to bring an issue to light
and make it important. More and more people ought to read
this and understand this side of your story. I can’t believe you aren’t more popular given that you surely have the
gift.

First of all I would like to say wonderful blog!
I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head
prior to writing. I’ve had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas
out. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted
just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
Appreciate it!
