.tel Storms Through 100,000 Registrations

LONDON - Telnic Limited (www.telnic.org), the registry operator
for the new communications-focused .tel top level domain (TLD), today
confirmed that total registrations from businesses and individuals worldwide
had surged past the 100,000 mark just 36 hours after General Availability
opened.

“The overwhelmingly-positive response from people applying for
the .tel shows that this is a service that is right for the time,” said
Khashayar Mahdavi, CEO of Telnic Limited. “The ability for individuals and
organisations to control how people contact them through one .tel name for
life has obviously struck a chord. We’re delighted with the response.”

In the first few hours of General Availability opening (where
the price for a one-year term starts from just $10 per year), around 250,000
applications were received, demonstrating huge demand. New registrations
continue to flood into Telnic with more expected, as leading social network
MySpace begins to sell to its customers at the end of this week and global
communications company BT begins to sell .tel domains from May of this year,
initially through BT Tradespace. Telnic also confirmed that it was accepting
applications from further resellers from all over the world, with a surge of
new organisations signing up on its website to express interest daily.
