Which will occur when a major mobile carrier partners with Telnic and begins to bundle .tel domains with its promotional packages. Do you understand that when this happens, a ten digit phone number will be nothing more than a numerical identifier behind each .tel domain? In some cases, a VOIP indentifier could even be embedded within the domain record itself, and there will be NO ten digit phone number at all!

Then you'll be dialing a name, phrase, quote, or other words, letters and/or numbers of your choosing - NOT a phone number. Think of the clever name possibilities for user registration. Combine that with smart phones capable of announcing the domain of the incoming .tel call, and suddenly we're all starting to have a little fun. The kind of fun that can quickly go viral!

Well Said WordWalker

Your post is spot on and I agree with everything you say.

A thumbs up from me and most of the others on this thread I would say.

Who said .tel have to be static?

A .tel does not have to be static, Two nice examples of what can be done with .tel.

watershed.tel – Bristol cinema with automated program updates

bigcity.tel - an .tel domain that automatically updates weather and activity information about big cities around the world.

I have just received word from Justin Hayward, Communications Director at Telnic, that he will present at the Domain Convergence conference being held in Toronto August 13-14 at the Radisson Admiral Habourfront Hotel.

This is welcome news for all Canadian (and other) Telsters as we'll be able to hear and learn directly from one of world's foremost experts on Tel.

I also understand that there will be a few very important announcements that are sure to help you to build, monetize and more efficiently manage your Tel assets.

And rumor has it that there may well be Canada's first TelCamp to coincide with Domain Convergence. A TelCamp is similar to a BarCamp, which is an open, participatory workshop-like event, whose content is provided by the participants themselves. TelCamps are focused on discussing ways of promoting and developing Tel related technologies.

More coming very soon...

Cheers,

Sorry guys: I answered you a couple of days ago, but my post has been deleted and I got a warning from the moderator (NPQueen) ...

I asked for explanations but did not receive anything so far. In the meanwhile, I'm gonna keep my mouth shut until I fully understand the USSR-like moderation rules of this forum ...

TelCamp Toronto 1 Announced.

We've decided to bite the bullet and announce that we are preparing to host Canada's first TelCamp. The tentative date is August 15, 2009 at a downtown location to be announced shortly.

If you'd like to present, recommend topics for discussion or even contribute to help defray some of the costs, we'd love to hear from you.

All comments, updates etc should be posted here on Telsters and at the TelCamp website located here at: TelCamp - TelCampus

I will organize (with a couple of French .tel enthusiasts) a TelCamp on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean (i.e. in Paris) at the beginning of November.
Henri Asseily (Telnic CTO) already promised me to attend (we are both surfers)

It will (of course) be a French-speaking event and anyone interested in participating or sponsoring this event is welcome to directly contact me.

@OnSpec: I will be very thankful if you could share your experience and provide me with some feedback after your TelCamp in Toronto.

Yes, I love .tel. I post in here to bring people down and use another screen name to make lowball offers on their .tel's. I have a huge collection of them now and I'm a future .tel millionaire. It was the perfect plan. MUH HA HA HA

Hopefully you have more success than the Boston TelCamp.

'It looks like...' : that means that you are not sure of that. If you are not sure, shout your mouth or be positive

storage.tel recently sold on Sedo for $4k, so out of curiosity I checked up on the new registrant details and was pleased to see that it's now owned by Storage.com (Extra Space Storage). It's nice to see a company recognise the value of generic category domains, and .tel in particular.

Just for the record I think they got an absolute steal at that price.

Thanks for that info...great news

I really don't think it will be to long before we all see lots more larger companies advertising there .tel.

It's only a matter of time and I think that lots of us will be rewared for our time and effort that we have put into our .tel domains as many more people will know and about them and will want to be part of it.

Run for the hills. Grab your ammo, and run for the hills. This extension is about to tank due to Telnic's desire to control the "A" records. A one-size-fits-all static template that looks like a 90's retro "under-construction" page is not going to cut it in the 21st Century. IMO.

This stuff about .tel domains being an alternative to dialing phone numbers is a very radical concept. Are there any indications that the cell companies are headed in this direction, or is it just wishful thinking by a small segment of domainers? Can you point to any major tech news coverage of this plan?

I agree. I am a believer (at the moment) in .Tel, but I have to admit looking at those pictures made me scratch my head and wonder....

Please tell me those pictures were during setup and/or rehearsal...

Again DubDub on behalf of the many short sighted .Tel enthusiasts that are here for the advancement, and support of .Tel your posts are overwhelmingly negative, short sighted, and simply leave on overall bad taste in this thread.

Most posts are about the potential possibilities and the domainers here understand potential meaning we don’t know. On the other hand you post as if you KNOW and we all know that no one knows so stop posting as if you know, because it does not make you look good at all.

As many times as you posted why not just join acroplex as he has a special forum for you specifically for .Tel Your insight will be highly regarded there.

Regarding the small group of critics (who I remind you bought up a bunch of .tel names!) I would just remind you of one of George Bernard Shaw's great maxims, "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it."
