What is .tel?

The .tel is a service that allows individuals and businessses alike to store and manage all their contact information and keywords directly in the DNS without the need to build, host or manage a website. The domain is designed to work on the web and with mobile phones such as the Apple iPhone and Blackberry.

Why is .tel different than other top level domains(TLDs)

The .tel domain name will point to a proxy page which gathers and publishes contact information stored in your .tel domain. You manage the information stored in a simple interface. The domain will act as a universal contact point rather than as a hook on which to hang websites.
