  • .tel is a new sponsored top-level Internet domain approved by ICANN in March 2006. .tel stores and encrypts a variety of contact information directly into the Domain Name System and may evolve to become a sort of online phone book. Launched in December 2008 to business and organization trademark holders, .tel domain names become available to the general public in February 2009.New York Times: .Tel Them Where to Find You (December 2, 2008)

  • .tel Initial Registration

    The initial registration period following .tel's December 3 launch is reserved for organizations and businesses that hold trademarks. .tel domain names registered during the initial registration period will be able to secure their desired .tel domain name for a fee of around $400 a year.New York Times: .Tel Them Where to Find You (December 2, 2008)

  • .tel Land Rush

    Registration of .tel domain names will open to the general public on February 3, 2009; a period which Telnic Limited refers to as a "land rush". Anyone wishing to secure a .tel domain name can do so during the land rush period for a fee of approximately $150 a year.New York Times: .Tel Them Where to Find You (December 2, 2008)

  • After the Land Rush

    After the land rush period closes on March 24, 2009, the price of securing a .tel domain name will drop dramatically. Though it stands to reason that the availability of names might not be as favorable as during the .tel land rush, the price per year for the domain name drops from approximately $150 a year to around $20 a year.New York Times: .Tel Them Where to Find You (December 2, 2008)
