This could be the biggest innovation in the domain name world since the dot com release; starting from this afternoon at 1500, dot tel domain name will be sold live by Telnic Limited, the registry operator of the new top level domain name.
More than 100 registrars worldwide have already committed to participate in the so-called Landrush registrations. The sunrise registration period, where owners and licensees of trademarks registered with national effect may apply, ended this morning at 00:00.
During, the Landrush period, domain names will be available on a first-come, first served basis, will carry a three-year minimum term and will be available for $375 and from the 23rd of March, this price will drop to only $20 per month.
Unlike other top level domain names, owners of .tel domains will not be able to modify the DNS to redirect them to a custom made website, instead, Telnic will provide customers with the ability to change their contact details such as names, telephone numbers, web and email addresses.
