.Tel - the domain which is different

The .tel domain uses the Domain Name System (DNS) in a way that empowers .tel domain owners, whether businesses or individuals, to control how and where people can communicate with them. Traditional Top Level Domains (TLDs) use the DNS to return Address records or IP addresses that are used to reach websites or send email. In the case of a website, when users look up Joker.com, their device queries the DNS for Joker.com's IP address (the Address record). The DNS returns the IP address associated with Joker.com (194.245.148.200) and the device uses the IP address to locate and view the Joker.com website.
All existing Top Level Domains use the DNS in this traditional way. However, the .tel does not communicate with web content or email -- it enables communication with people. It therefore requires an approach to storing contact information directly in the DNS for which Address records are inappropriate, since an Address record cannot identify a phone number or a VoIP service address, such as a Skype or Yahoo! Messenger.
The .tel will allow contact information to be stored directly in the DNS so that when a device performs a query for a .tel domain (i.e., AdamSmith.tel), the DNS will not respond with an Address record, rather it will return the contact information directly to the device, which enables the click-to-communicate functionality.
Domain owners will be able to make use of this functionality without having to run their own webservices - this is included with the domain registration.
