No website necessary: The contact information stored in the DNS is readily available and efficiently delivered to any device without the need for a website or a webmaster.

Speed: The Domain Name System is optimized for speed. Because it is DNS-based, a .tel lookup takes just a fraction of a second, and is much quicker than loading a typical web page.

Real-Time: Whenever you update your data in the DNS, the change “goes live” immediately.

Improved Control: Traditionally, search engines are forced to "read" entire web pages and guess the keywords. The .tel uses the data you supply to the DNS to tell search engines exactly where the keywords are, thereby improving your control over your search results.

Optimized for mobile devices: The traffic generated by a .tel lookup is so small that it remains inexpensive for consumers. The data is also presented in such a simple way that the .tel easily integrates into address books and allows for advanced navigation on all mobile devices.

Scalable: The DNS is a fully scalable and decentralized system that already handles billions of queries each day. It is perfectly suited to become the most reliable global directory of contact information and keywords.

Global: The DNS is ubiquitous. Everything on the Internet uses the DNS all the time and all information stored within the DNS is globally accessible from any device connected to the internet.

Encryptable: Data stored in the DNS may be encrypted so that only authorized users may access it, ensuring total privacy.

GENERAL FAQS

What is .tel?
The .tel is a service that allows individuals and businesses alike to store and manage all their contact information and keywords directly in the DNS without the need to build, host or manage a website. For more information, see .tel for businesses and .tel for individuals.

Why is .tel different than other Top Level Domains (TLDs)?
The value of a .tel domain lies with the ability to host personal (or corporate) contact information directly in the DNS, which can then be universally accessible. This stands in contrast to the typical use of the DNS for other TLDs, in which the DNS only provides a mapping between domain names and IP addresses.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DNS VERSUS WEB-BASED SOLUTIONS

The .tel is a Top Level Domain using innovative DNS technology to power a communication based Internet service.

In comparison to current web-based solutions, .tel provides a much more structured, efficient, and reliable offering.

The following table highlights key advantages of the .tel DNS solution over traditional web-based solutions:

Feature	.tel DNS/ NAPTR-based solution	Traditional web-based/ Address record solution
Speed	NAPTR records are very small, mostly transmitted over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and extremely quick	Webpages are large, transmitted over HTTP connections and can be slow especially on mobile telephones
Cost	Due to the small size of NAPTR records, they can be cheap to transmit over mobile data networks	Viewing webpages on mobile phones can become expensive due to their size
Complexity	Publishing contact data can be done in a few simple clicks	Publishing webpages is a complex and time-consuming activity
Scalability	DNS is designed to be highly scalable	Web-based services become expensive and cumbersome to run in large volumes
Reliability	The DNS-based solution is inherently a globally distributed system that is scalable and has no single point of failure	Web-based services are prone to downtime and single points of failure
Global Access	DNS-based services are open and accessible without the need for logging in or becoming a member	Web-based services require users to login before a service can be used
Visibility	.tel will receive exceptional visibility as an emerging standard for communications because it is a Top Level Domain	Web-based services are much more commonplace and hence do not benefit from the market visibility available to newly issued Top Level Domains
Setup	The DNS-based solution has no need to construct and maintain a website	Web-based solutions require construction and maintenance of a website

	For Individuals Individuals can use their .tel in many ways. Some people will want to store their phone numbers while others may want to store everything they can including all their online hang-outs, social networks, gaming handles and more.

	For Small Businesses Many small businesses don't presently own or need a website. For example: an electrician, a plumber, a limo driver. Other small businesses simply need to publish their contact information and keywords in a way that makes them more discoverable online or makes them accessible on mobile devices.

	For Large Businesses Large companies typically have multiple offices, departments and locations. They require the ability to route customers to appropriate business centers. Large companies also are typically interested in becoming more discoverable online and can benefit from the publication of keywords for each location and in all local languages.
