According to Webnames.ca Chief Operating Officer Cybele Negris, .tel is building momentum and will create a tidal wave of opportunity for those with the pluck to capitalize on its virtues.
Not only that, says Negris – but .tel has the potential to eclipse .com in volume.Unlike the slew of domain extensions soon to be approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), .tel is a unique extension, designed to store and unify contact information in an easy-to-remember name and enabling one-click dialing on mobile phones. Like the .com gold rush of the ’90s, those first in will have the greatest opportunity. From her perch at Webnames.ca (whose co-founder and CEO John Demco helped found the .ca extension in 1987), Negris explains the workings of .tel and how some forward-thinking Vancouver companies are already staking their claim in an effort to leverage their .tel names.Why should people care about .tel?I see .tel as a virtual business card. Imagine meeting a contact or business associate at a function. You hand them a business card. What are they going to do with that business card? They have to take it home or back to the office. They either give it to their assistant or type in all that information into Outlook or in their BlackBerry. With .tel, you just give them your .tel name and all your contact information is attached.
