Instead, ICANN has approved the creation of a new domain name, .tel, which will serve to offer a one-stop surfing destination to look up contact information on what it hopes will eventually include every individual and corporate entity. <p>ICANN says that .tel sites are stored within the DNS systems so that information can be &quot;quickly accessed on any device from a game console to a PC to a mobile phone.&quot; Regardless of the vehicle, navigators could, for example, head over to WillSmithMPC.tel to gain access to a wealth of contact information, including address, phone, Facebook URL, IM, Twitter, and whatever else the MPC editor-in-chief chose to share. Companies can purchase a domain name too, meaning you could visit MaximumPC.tel to see who's on staff and other contact information for your favorite magazine. </p> <p>The new Telnic-owned domains will <a href="http://www.telnic.com/index.html">go on sale</a> this December with initial registrations reserved for trademark owners. Gneral availability opens up to public on March 24, 2009. Pricing yet to be announced. </p> <p align="center"><img src="/files/u69/Tel.png" width="415" height="250" /> </p> http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/icann_approves_tel_domains_be_used_directory_information#comments News .tel domain Software URL website windows Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:49:22 -0500 Paul Lilly 3237 at http://www.maximumpc.com
