  VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Apr 29 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Webnames.ca is offering email accounts for use with .TEL domains.
Webnames.ca launched the service earlier this week in response to calls
for email by .TEL owners on various forums and blogs dedicated to domain
industry news. 

    Custom email is a simple and cost effective way of increasing brand
awareness. When used in conjunction with a .TEL domain, it becomes an
effective tool for driving traffic to the .TEL site and the additional
web addresses and contact details it contains.

    ".TEL is at a very exciting stage. We've been receiving great feedback
from customers who are actively using their .TEL to extend their reach
and maintain relationships," stated Stephen Smith, CEO, Webnames.ca. "By
giving our customers the ability to add email accounts and manage their
MX records, we're making .TEL an even more powerful contact tool." 

    General registration of .TEL names began on March 24, 2009. Now a month
into general registration, the utility of .TEL continues to grow with the
availability of email and a growing list of open source applications for
products such as BlackBerry and iPhone. Owners of .TEL domains located at
other registrars who want to use Webnames.ca email with their .TEL will
be able to transfer their names beginning in late May 2009.
