level domain (TLD) nominated for a 2009 World Technology Award and InfoCommerce Group 2009 Model of
Excellence Award, today announced that over 200,000 registrations of domains had been
received within two months of General Availability.
"This is a truly remarkable milestone considering current economic conditions and with the attention of the
world on global events, but proves that a simple but compelling service under the control of the
individual has significant potential," said Khashayar Mahdavi, CEO of Telnic. "As early adopters start using
the .tel as their single point of contact, more and more individuals and businesses are seeing that it's an
incredibly useful way to manage the complexity of communications choices in one single place online."

with the benefits of .tel, from German directory services specialist iWelt (http://www.iwelt.de/) through to
new directory services entrants such as US-based Industrial Web Search
Mahdavi adds: "The innovations that the community around the .tel is building means that every day we
are seeing new purposes and opportunities for revenue generation, from individuals promoting themselves
with the .tel domains online through to large organizations completely refreshing their existing business
models fuelled by .tel technology. It's an exciting time for us and one that many still have the opportunity to
participate in. This is just the beginning."
