Telnic Announces Accredited Technology Partner Programme
(http://www.telnic.org), the registry operator for the new .tel top level
domain, today announced the opening of the Telnic Accredited Technology
Partner programme for organizations looking to integrate their technology
products and services with .tel. This free and optional programme is
available to all organizations wishing to seamlessly integrate their
offerings with the .tel service.
“We’ve seen a huge response from organizations of all types about the
.tel,” said
“We’re now creating a formal program that will enable technology and web
services providers of all types to work with us to make sure that they can
integrate with the .tel platform seamlessly.”
The .tel domain provides individuals and businesses with a communications
‘hub’ which enables them to store all types of contact information and
publish it to any device connected to the internet. As a platform entirely
under the user’s control, this enables them to:
- Transition between communications channels and technologies
easily dependent on how new technologies and channels develop
- Adopt and replace existing communications channels such as
landline numbers with voice over IP (VoIP) numbers easily,
transitioning to lower-cost solutions
- Adopt new customer relationship management (CRM)
technologies that enable them to enhance their customer experience
- Use the .tel domain as a shield to protect private contact
information, thus making it their single point of contact in third
party services like social and business networks
- Manage in a neutral space subscriptions to other web
services, allowing their APIs to talk under their control within their
.tel environment
An organization gaining Telnic Accredited Technology Partner status will
have worked with Telnic to test, document, integrate and accredit its
technology solution to work with the .tel top level domain (TLD). The
specific technology will also carry a stamp of approval from .tel.
Accreditation includes a shared testing process in order to make sure
that the application works correctly with communications information stored
within the Domain Name System (DNS), the APIs and Web Proxy pages allowing
customers to access and interact with the .tel information, and the
TelHosting platform which enables customers to input, manage and publish
information in their .tel domain.
Organisations currently working with Telnic who automatically become part
of this programme include:

Accredited Technology Partner as we believe the .tel embodies the
communication platform for the next generation. For the last months we have
closely worked with Telnic on our communication services to enhance the .tel
experience. It is key for voipGATE to be part of this new trend, and the
upcoming version of our Softphone will be the result of the .tel directory
services and functionalities integration. Ease-of-access, contact management
