.TEL and yet, why?
In March 2009, the new .TEL domain zone will be available for free registration with most registrars. Registration will cost about $ 15-20 per year. Before the start of free registration, there will be a “sunrise” period (from December 2008), when companies will be able to submit applications for registration of domains that are their trademarks.
For many, one way or another connected with domains and domaining, there is a quite adequate question - WHY?
The failure of the .MOBI zone is involuntarily recalled, which, according to ICANN, should be “intended for sites and services oriented to work with mobile phones and wireless devices.” Having a pretty quick start, just two years after its start, the .MOBI zone goes to non-existence with the passive monitoring of this process of its eminent sponsors: Google, Microsoft, Samsung, Nokia, and others. And ICANN itself.
However, despite the pessimism and negativity encountered, with the right approach of the sponsors and the further development of the technical base .TEL has the prospect of becoming the first zone that will justify itself and come out of a number of artificial and artificial first-level domains implemented by the "non-commercial" organization ICANN.

The founders of .TEL see this domain as the world phone book of the future, where the user can store any contact information (including current location, addresses, phone numbers, instant messengers, VOIP services, contact details of social and professional Internet networks, and others). In doing so, it will be possible to provide access levels for different types of users.
The .TEL zone is being implemented by Telnic, which after long negotiations with ICANN, sometimes more reminiscent of persuasion, has obtained permission for contact information to be stored not on the site, but in the DNS domain, which in turn should greatly simplify the integration of disparate platforms, devices, software and services, while the volume of information transmitted will be very small (less than 1kb). Such a small amount of traffic is due to the fact that the user will not need to develop his own website in .TEL, since all the information can be entered in the settings of the domain name. Given the multi-level domain, it will be easy to create address directories of companies, business areas and geographical units.
Test examples. TEL sites:
http://celebrity.tel/
http://hotels.tel/
You can test the capabilities of a .TEL domain yourself by making your own 3rd level domain on the official Telnic website. There is also a demo for business and individual users .
However, with all the domain innovation and enthusiasm, developers will have to face a number of serious challenges.
In what way, Telnic’s bold and interesting idea will be realized by time.

- Adaptation and centralization of stored information for a large audience. If a domain is thought of as a phone book, which personal or business identifier will be used? Nickname, name, company name (none of which is universal)?
- Possible competitors. In spite of the long time spent on obtaining the ICANN agreement, now permission to store information in the DNS can be quite easily obtained by other top-level domains. This is especially true in the upcoming gTLD expansion.
- Work on integration with hundreds if not thousands of different devices, services, and so on.
