The strong combination of Directel Macau's existing services combined with .tel significantly increases visibility of its customers online and on mobile devices, generating more contacts and sales leads. With the ability to provide information in many languages simply and quickly, we believe that .tel will be a complementary and valuable tool in the suite of offerings that yellow page providers can offer to the benefit of their customers."
