Luxembourg 25th September, EuroDNS, being the first ICANN-accredited Registrar to sign up to distribute the new .tel domain is pleased to share some great figures and key findings about the perception and attractiveness of the upcoming .tel extension.

Telnic registry has just published a survey report on the perception of .tel from a selected group of corporate and end user representatives. The people polled first answered qualifying questions and watched a brief introductory video about .tel before filling in the market survey.

The survey targeting end users polled 1053 individuals in the USA between 18 and 64 years old, from different social backgrounds, who use the Internet at least 1 hour per day. The findings show that 96% find the concept “clear and easy to understand” and 45% state that they would buy their own .tel domain name. Besides, 72% would like major corporations to buy their .tel brand names.

On the corporate side, 678 key decision makers whose company already own a domain name with the .com, .biz, .net extensions were surveyed. 96% find the concept “clear and easy to understand” and 78% think .tel would be valuable for their business. 80% will also recommend their company to buy its own .tel domain.

Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS, comments “We have always believed in .Tel and its comforting to see the market seems to share our views. The extension has great appeal both from the business and the individual point of view; this is why we know our core customer base will want to join the .Tel phenomenon. It is the best way for us to be part of this new trend and offer a new type of Internet presence and communication mean”.

The .tel enables the user to store, update and publish contact information, web links and keywords directly on the Internet under a unique domain name. .tel provides a new internet standard for businesses and individuals to take full control over how and where people reach them.

The .tel sunrise period will start on December the 3rd and EuroDNS will offer the possibility to preregister. More information regarding application processes and prices will come up soon on EuroDNS news. Stay tuned to www.eurodns.com.
