Thousands apply for .tel domains

Telnic says its new .tel mobile internet domain name has received thousands of applications.

It revealed that within the first minute of availability, applications had been received from Google, Apple, Microsoft, News Corporation, MySpace, Amex, BP, FedEx, Virgin, Sony, Gap, Visa, McDonalds and loads more.

“We’re delighted to see applications from such a breadth of businesses and categories worldwide,” said Khashayar Mahdavi, CEO of Telnic. “Trademark owners have obviously got the message that .tel is a huge departure from .com-type domains that host web content and is instead an innovative platform for communications.”
