Is this worth anything ?

maxjohan · 05-01-2011, 02:02 PM

Seriously, right now. I'm buying .tel in hope that they will start to focus on making the .tel owners money. Instead of just being a "directory". I can't wait to the day when I can actually embed a youtube video to my .tel domains. I mean, it's about time they start to look into things like Godaddys "Smartspace".

They could use a "smartspace" concept so I can build a web site with drag-n-drop tools and make money by being an affiliate to products that I can promote.

The phone directory concept is sooo 2006. And no body is making any real money with that concept. Innovate! please.

Good news. I guess I'll hold ppv.tel then (my one and only)

.tel domains/telnic
has been named as one of six vendors in the Gartner Cool Vendor in Context-Aware Computing 2011 Report released this month.

The report, available from Gartner, highlights the benefits of Telnic’s DNS-based, real-time publishing platform

Landrush for LL tels has started. Heres letter from Enom. Will anyone go for them? I am tempted to backorder my initials.

How do I get my two-character or all numeric .TEL?

Landrush is a 2 week period starting 8AM MDT (UTC 14:00) on Wednesday June 1st. You'll pay $239 to apply for any .TEL name you wish - if you get it, congratulations! If not, you'll be refunded $214.
General Availability Registrations will be open beginning June 14 at 8AM MDT (UTC 14:00). All domains that were not applied for during the Landrush period will become available for $9.99

*cabr* · 07-05-2011, 03:34 AM

I don't owe any .tel domains but just thought this may be worth posting here. Apparently (dnsaleprice.com) the third highest .tel sale took place in Poland last Friday.

nieruchomosci.tel sold for EUR 2.200 (~ USD 3.180) .gieldadomen.pl/bid.php?id=962162"]SOURCE

The term "nieruchomosci" means "real estate" in Polish.

With the global economy on the brink of collapse and a halting domain market in general... What is the outlook for Tel in the future?

Where will Tel be in 1 year, 3 years, 5 years and 10 years from now?

Also... The outlook for IDN Tel domains?

Stargazer · 08-16-2011, 06:37 PM

WOW! That good!

Since no one responded to this question i'll take that as a sign that the outlook for .Tel is very dark to put it mildly!

dotker · 08-16-2011, 07:29 PM

Most things on the web these days are customizable i wonder why they dont want to implement such feature?

The amount of .tel keep 300k. It is bad but not so bad. It is worth to take risk. Now it is not much chance to invest in domain industry.

pankajs · 11-08-2011, 10:23 PM

I have heard first time about this extension...
Even Godaddy have not included this extension to register.

sdsinc · 11-09-2011, 03:29 AM

If even Godaddy does not carry .tel it speaks volume about the potential

March 2012 is coming soon, I expect that a lot of the landrush domains will be dropped as the initial 3-year registration period is coming to an end.

Keith · 11-26-2011, 05:47 PM

Good luck to the tel"ers". You'll need it

Domainstore · 11-27-2011, 11:09 AM

I think there wlll drop domains in the future (Landrush 3 yearregistration anniversary).
BUT that doesn't say that the domainnameextension is crap !

This .tel-extension CAN become huge.
Just as mobi, but mobi has more chance to get much bgger then anybody can imagine.
The MOBILE INTERNETUSE is STILL LOW and costs too much money, in my country. But once the pricng for mobile internetting drops i think these extensons wll go up.

As I read that with tel there will be the possibly to use it for for a MOBLEPAYMENTS, then it could still become huge.

At least registerring your own name (name+surname) is something I would advice anyone.
if you want to be found by somebody who nows you then they only have to put your name + the word "tel" in google and the dottelname gets in the FIRST RESULTS of GOOGLE.

That Godaddy isn't offering the extention (any more ?), is indeed strange, but GOOGLE isn't dropping ths extention.

This is where you are wrong my friend, there is no need for a dedicated extension for mobile use, nor is there a need for an extension that purports to mimic a 'contact us page'.
.tel does nothing that cannot be achieved with existing domain names. But .tel is the only extension that can't be developed. This is why it's the absolute worst extension. In fact, it's useless.

From the POV of the public it's yet another extension. They can't be bothered.

henrik41 · 01-25-2012, 01:31 PM

bought those a few years ago..don't know if it's worth something:

MATAV.TEL (hungarian phone company)
FALAFEL.TEL
FINGER.TEL
HANGUP.TEL
APPEL.TEL (french for call)
SEXUALITY.TEL

Sure hope .tel will pick up one day

Let them drop. The only .tel I would keep are first names and super premium keywords like loans, insurance, doctor....
