According to Wikipedia, “.tel is a top-level domain approved by ICANN as a sponsored TLD and operated by Telnic. Telnic announced in May 2009 that 200,000 .tel domains had been registered since General Availability on March 24th 2009.” It looks like they want to be a global business directory for all your points of contact, email, website, cell phone, land line, fax, any way that can be contacted.
What’s your take, is this something you’d use for your business?

I have over 100 premium .tel’s and although I don’t call myself a domainer, I can see huge potential in this domain for communications. Quite simply, with the adoption of mobile internet becoming mainstream now, .tel serves to replace long boring and forgetful numbers, with words (just like .com did for long ip numbers). For business especially, .tel will be a great and memorable way for customers to remember numbers- you simply type in the domain ending in .tel and then click on a number to initiate a call. Can also be updated by the owner of the .tel if they relocate etc. Did I mention it also stores all your other points of contact like twitter, facebook etc… .tel will have a bright future I think."
From a other article and interview:
Kash Madhavi, the chief executive of Telnic: Quote:
"You can say, ‘Here are my Facebook details, here is my mobile number, and people will always be able to find you.” In the near future these will become more valuable when the need for mobile content increases further and a stripped-down web pages made available through mobile phones such as Blackberry, Apple iPhone etc."
