Sibername.com Announces Readiness For.TEL Domain Name Landrush
2009-01-30
Less than 7 days left to the .TEL Domain Name Landrush. Sibername.com is
ready for another success story.
Sibername.com, one of Canada's leading domain name registrars, has announced
pre-booking of .TEL domain names for submission to registry operator Telnic as
soon as Landrush opens. Pre-booking enables customers of Sibername.com, through
the web page Sibername.com .TEL Domain Name Website, to submit requests for .tel
domain names the instant that Landrush -- the period where anyone can purchase
any available .tel domain -- opens on 3rd February 2009.
Sibername.com Inc. would like to remind the interested parties that, on February
3rd 2009, .tel domains will be available to the general public on a first-come,
first-served basis. We have started accepting
applications at tel.sibername.com
We believe, as do many in the technology industry and the media, that the .tel
is perhaps the biggest innovation since the launch of .com. As with .com, where
those that understood the potential early saw a great return on investment, we
also believe that purchasing .tel domains in the first weeks of availability
will offer as great an investment opportunity. The simple reason is that, as
.com was innovative in pioneering the ease of access to new web content
globally, providing a real 'first' for the internet, .tel is as unique a top
level domain in driving communications and contact information to all devices on
the internet.
How is .tel different?
A .tel domain allows the owner to create a personalized or branded online
presence without needing to build a website or pay for monthly hosting and
management. All other top level domains require further investment and the
development of web pages or email accounts, whereas .tel does not. All existing
top level domains are concerned with locating and hosting websites, while the .tel
is not.
Rather than being stored in web pages, making them difficult or expensive to
access over mobile devices, the .tel allows businesses and individuals to store
an unlimited number and all types of contact information directly in the Domain
Name System (DNS) as data records
Why is storing data in the DNS important?
Using the DNS as a data store enables individuals and businesses to utilize this
powerful system to publish information globally, securely, quickly and easily.
Because no websites need to be created, much less time is required in order to
publish information. The data is delivered as live information rather than web
page content and is formatted appropriately for any device accessing the .tel
domain.
The .tel domain will have huge implications in terms of speed, global reach,
real-time updating, improved control and the optimization of content for mobile
devices.
What are the key benefits for businesses?
• Integration of all means of communication in a single place under their brand
• An entry into the next-generation yellowpages with instant worldwide exposure
• A very efficient and cost effective mobile presence
• Increased search engine discoverability
• … all without the need to build, host or manage a website.
What are the key benefits for individuals?
• Control over all the ways people reach them in a single place that is theirs
forever
• Protection of their private data
• Always current information with real-time updates
• Reachable in a single click
• all without the need to build, host or manage a website.
How can .tel domains be monetized?
Because the .tel owner cannot host their own website under their domain, there
is a temptation to believe that monetization of .tel will not be possible. Quite
the contrary is true. The .tel adds a huge number of 'click to purchase'
monetization opportunities, especially targeted to mobile cellular devices, that
shrewd investors should appreciate.
What .tel domain names will offer the best investment prospects?
From February 3rd 2009, all domain names will be offered on a first-come,
first-served basis for a 3-year term at a fixed price. Therefore, there will
only be a short window to take advantage of the great opportunity to register
valuable domain names that were not already registered by trademark owners.
We recommend that you investigate the following categories of names (the
examples provided below are not guaranteed to still be available):
• City Names: NewYork.tel, etc…
• Generic Names: Restaurant.tel, etc…
• First Names: Bob.tel, etc…
• Family Names: Smith.tel, etc…
• Professions: Doctors.tel, etc…
• Universities: Duke.tel, etc…
• Government Agencies: LAPD.tel, etc…

• Television Shows: BigBrother.tel, etc…

Has .tel been picked up by the media?
Over the past few months, the .tel has been covered on CNN, Bloomberg, BBC
Online, Herald Tribune, The Financial Times, The New York Times, The Guardian,
IT Wire, Internet News, ZDNet, The Inquirer and many more.
Recently the press has said that the .tel:
• Is "The Google of Online Phone Books" - CNN/Fortune
• "Think of .tel as a 'live' global white/yellow pages directory or
communications hub that crucially leaves control of the contact and other
information in the hands of the domain owner who can set different levels of
access for different visitors." - The Financial Times
• "The new domain, which stores and encrypts contact information directly into
the Domain Name System, has the potential to become a phone book for the
Internet." - New York Times
• "Owners of .tel domains will be able to manage their contact details via a
simple dashboard and surrender as much or as little information as they desire."
- BBC News
• "This amazingly simple concept … will make people's life easier." - UberGizmo
• "It's the mother of all telephone books" - VentureBeat
