.tel
Encyclopedia : T : TE : TEL : .tel
.tel is a top-level domain approved by ICANN as a sponsored TLD. It would be restricted to "internet communication" services, and provide a supplement to the traditional numeric namespace for telecommunication services (i.e. telephone numbers). It is sponsored by Telname Limited. As of May 2006, it has been approved and added to the global DNS root, and is getting ready for its opening.
Since many of the sorts of services that may use .tel domains are intended for use on mobile telephones, there is some overlap in the target market between this and the .mobi domain, also approved by ICANN in the same round.
A [second application] for the same TLD name, but with a different structure, was made by a company named [Pulver].
