All .tel domains purchased during Sunrise and Landrush are officially owned by the successful registrant for a period of three years from March 24th 2009.

The domains will ‘go live’ (resolve to the DNS and work when you enter them online) no later than March 6th, 2009. VAIOWEB will provide you with your login credentials that will allow you to access your .tel control panel from which you can manage your .tel domain.

We know you are eager for the domains to resolve and we thank you for your continued patience while we optimize the experience.

Based on the .tel trial program, Telnic (the Registry Operator) has developed a number of resources to help .tel domain owners start using the .tel control panel, set up contact information in the domain and enable key information to be published in the DNS. You can now access to the following materials:

• FAQ on .tel related issues
• Quick-Start Guide demonstrating the basics of the .tel
• Your Guide to .tel with detailed instructions on managing your .tel
• Your Guide to TelFriends about privacy and friending in .tel
• Video Tutorial online or for download – a walkthrough of basic .tel operations
• Glossary of .tel-related terms
