Although a tawdry and base use of .tel it seems this is one way to monetize. Would I choose this method? no,, but it seems quite remarkable compared to the efforts put forth by Telnic. So, I ask again, what is going on with .tel? Where is Bradpitt.tel, Angelina.tel, Johnmayer.tel. There seems to be no celebrity.tel interest and without where are we? Perhaps we members are waiting for nothing to happen and it’s happening. The last chat with DM they stated they’re selling .tel domains at a record pace, all well and good until those domains come up for renewal. We need traction at a much larger level, who will provide it, someone less intoxicated than I but someone must…

Yes it does … along with ads for Ukrainian dating services. I look at it this was, .tel may reach a tipping point and if it does it will replace phone numbers, ICQ, etc. Why give out a phone number that’s hard to remember when you could be acroplex.tel. Oh, but that’s been taken … forever.

Some doctors and dentists may want flashy web sites, but I’d rather have a billboard on a busy interchange with one large word: heartdoc.tel.

Methinks you doth protest too much … like the manufacturers of buggy whips did at the dawn of the auto age.

We should demand a refund as its not a domain name, but a directory listing with no DNS, NO email, NO nothing.

Listen, I develop web sites and I have doctors and dentists as clients. It’s a cut-throat business and they want really “flashy” sites, with graphics and positive images.

Good luck populating your minimalist .tel domains, once Telnic fixes the URL forwarding glitch. Doctors don’t pay to be listed in an obscure TLD’s “web page” that looks like it came out of AOL in 1992.

The innovations will make the case for themselves. I say let the people who don’t understand stay that way – makes it easier for the rest of us to make another round of money.

This will be huge by 2012

But to quote a famous disclaimer: “Unique experiences and past performances do not guarantee future results! Testimonials are non-representative of all clients; certain accounts may have worse performance than that indicated”.

In other words, comparing apples to oranges might burn a hole in your pocket, the size of the ozone hole over the south pole.

“Ponying up” $300 a pop sounds like a serious risk, per all the reasons I’ve quoted in the four segments of this saga.

Investors that fail to do their own research and solely rely on an “entrepreneurial drive” to invest per Telnic’s pretty videos, risk seeing their 24 karat gold turn into iron pyrite instead. If you’re not concerned, go for it.

A domain name? who is going to type in http://www.blahblahblah.com when they can pick up the phone and dial the company?

ANOTHER browser? What’s wrong with IE (stop laughing)?

ANOTHER search engine? Yahoo finds what I need.

I could had invested in two companies that were fledglings: Microsoft and Cisco. I never dreamed either of them would dominate their respective markets. $10,000 invested in either of them would have returned millions.

My father-in-law had a chance to invest in a company for 250,000. He had the money, but he didn’t see the value and he didn’t speak to me about it. The company? Skype.

I have coworkers who laughed at me when I started an Internet business and made $5 for a month’s work.

They stopped laughing when I showed them $1500 checks every month for the last 4 years.

That being said,

Some people can’t pony up the $300 to snarf a cool (or not so cool) .tel domain name. Don’t poo-pooh those of us who are willing to take a chance.

If the .tel I reserved goes nowhere, no biggie. I will write it off under my domain business.

If, however, there is demand (and from what I can see, at least 5 similar .tels have been taken by big name entities), my iron pyrite will be transmuted into sweet internet gold.

Stay tuned!

When a .tel server detects communication from a non-mobile device, it could provide the domain owner with the ability to “toggle-on” functionality that would automatically launch a companion pop-under website (a second URL) that would appear below the standard .tel contact page.

This would provide domain owners with all the existing benefits of .tel in combination with the traditional functionality we have come to expect from standard websites. By way of analogy, I do believe the Yellow Pages has had some measure of success with larger, accompanying page ads that display additional merchant content.
