The .tel domain went to public release today (24th March 2009), meaning that it is now available for anyone and everyone to purchase. The .tel domain differs in concept to a standard domain and is not designed for the hosting of websites - in fact, you are unable to point the name to a website. Instead, it acts as a directory entry, allowing the centralisaion of all contact information.
The .tel domain is available for both private and business use and I believe that .tel registrations are set to explode in popularity.
Why? well from an individuals point of view - garry.tel is a lot easier to give someone than; home numbers, work numbers, mobile numbers, email addressess, skype name, website address .... you get the picture.
And for business, the ability to centralise all contact information in one place (and update it instantly) has got to be a good thing, particularly for businesses with multiple offices or departments.
And for those of you out there with the equivalent of; www.I-really-would-like-a-shorter-name-but-they-were-all-gone.com, I suggst that you get cracking and snap up one of the most memorable domain names you could possibly wish for.
