> Sounds similar to Telnic
Telnic used NAPTR records and was only available on .tel domains, NUM uses TXT and can be used on any domain name, by publishing a "_num" zone.
Telnic was also "just" for contact data. What we're trying to do with NUM is make it possible to publish any kind of data. Contact data as just one "module".
- fredrivett 5y agoThe other key difference here as far as I understand, is that Telnic required you to register .tel domains, you couldn't bring your own domain and store contact information against that.
