Telnic's .tel Domains Provide a New Method for Online Contact Management

LONDON, December 7 - PR Newswire, the global leader in news distribution services, today
announced it has entered into a partnership with Telnic Limited
(www.telnic.tel), the registry operator for the new .tel top level
domain (TLD), which allows companies and individuals to create a virtual
vCard or contact directory that enables users to easily and instantly
"click to connect" via their preferred device.

This agreement allows PR Newswire to offer .tel domains to its clients
and journalist contacts at reduced rates. PR Newswire customers using .tel
domains will benefit from enhanced search engine optimisation (SEO), a
central location to store contact information in an easily accessible manner
and a fast, easy method to provide contact information during a crisis
situation.

"As news is increasingly consumed from a number of different devices, the
ability for a journalist to 'click to connect' with an organisation or for a
customer to instantly connect to make a purchase, has become ever more
important," said Nick Gynne, PR Newswire's UK & India Sales Director.
"Because users can track referrals through .tel domains, communicators will
be able to more easily measure the impact of their news and track return on
investment. We look forward to seeing our customers take advantage of all of
the benefits that .tel domains provide."

New and existing .tel domain owners will receive discounts on PR
Newswire's Online Visibility Package (OVP), a service that delivers news to
Internet portals including Yahoo! Finance, AOL and thousands of other
websites, databases and online services, making it easy for domain owners to
communicate new .tel addresses to target audiences. .tel owners wishing to
take advantage of the OVP service can reference their .tel domain name when
speaking with a PR Newswire representative to automatically receive an
exclusive OVP discount every time they want to deliver a message to their
audiences.

"A .tel domain enables PR Newswire clients to provide audiences with a
direct connection to key contacts in just one click," said Justin Hayward,
Communications Director at Telnic. "We are excited to introduce this service
to PR Newswire customers and are pleased that .tel domains will gain
increased visibility through PR Newswire's industry leading distribution
services."

Telnic was nominated for this year's World Technology Awards, as well as
the InfoCommerce Group Models of Excellence. For more information on .tel
domains, visit telnic.tel.
