  • ICANN approves .tel

    An Internet regulator has approved the creation of the .tel domain, the company that proposed the domain announced on Monday.

    Telnic, which proposed .tel to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in 2000, said the domain will give individuals and businesses a naming and navigation structure for Internet communications.

    The idea is for people to use .tel as a way of communicating directly with the person or company behind a particular Web site, using technologies such as voice over Internet Protocol, e-mail or Short Message Service (SMS). Telnic used the examples of AdamSmith.tel or Hertz.tel.

    And in the same tradition as .com*, it's equally planned just as poorly.
