A new program will be launched in order to make potential clients more familiar with the concept behind the .TEL domain name. A beta program called vip.tel will allow customers to trial their own .tel domain name before the official launch. Telnic, the Registry Operator of the .tel TLD announced its new plans. You can apply for the new program by emailing to vip@telnic.org.
.tel domain name is a totally new concept that enables you to store, update and share all or part of your contact information, favourite links and keywords directly on the DNS - domain name system - without having to program anything and without a need of setting up a web-site.
It will allow for simple, fast and accessible way to communicate via any web-enabled device
To learn more about the new concept, read the interview with Justin Hayward of Telnic and the article about what is .TEL domain name.

I have not even heard of .tel domain names. While I was searching for a domain name at http://www.eleganceindesign.com/domains.html I’m just realizing it didn’t show any .tel.
Is this a new type of domain we should be expecting to see more and more?
