ICANN announced that weekend that the new .tel domain has gone live. There are many opinions on what .tel is all about. DomainTools Blog thinks that it’s a competition to .mobi:
If you had to buy flowers right now, what would you do?
- A) Open the Yellow Pages and look up Flowers.

- C) Call 1-800-Flowers.
- D) Type in Flowers.mobi.
- E) Type in Flowers.Tel.
Daily Domainer says that .tel won’t compete with .mobi:
