Well, .tel has been discussed before, and their mission is very confusing.

thinking1 · 03-05-2007, 06:29 PM

This website has been up for a few months, .tel is a little behind.

It's no threat to .mobi. Why does everyone mention .mobi?

bachelor2000 · 03-06-2007, 06:13 AM

just like every everyone prefer com to net

As their are several exts for your pc, so will be the case for mobile internet. Too late for .tel IMHO, it will surely be runner up to .mobi. I believe .mobi will be the .com equivalent on mobile devices.

I wonder how many .mobi investors will participate in the .tel rush? I hope the true mobi believers turn their backs on this one.

Check out http://www.dailydomainer.com/200744-...l-calling.html

Or if you have a lot of time on your hands:

You will understand why you can't even mention .mobi when referring to .tel

tel. should be like .info.. cheap and easy to reg.. so that all people can equally participate and reg domains

mtvplayer · 03-06-2007, 09:33 AM

i agree with you. .tell is too late.

sdsinc · 03-06-2007, 10:08 AM

Actually .tel sounds like another unfortunate choice of extension.
With the convergence of technologies (voip, skype) etc more and more people are using their computer as a phone. Also a lot of people have a mobile phone (GSM) and no fixed line. 'Telephone' is becoming a deprecated word

.tel doesnt only stand for telephone ... its first meaning is telecommunications, this includes telephone voip, skype, .......

.tel isnt waht you think...there's a great thread about it on "another" domain forum that is smaller and older than np if you get me....tel is an automated system if I understand it...it is not an extension as we know it in it's usual form...it is basically an auotmated phone book and imo will fail cause it is a security risk.

Allright ----- so I go to the link above for daily domainer, expecting the usual, dry domain-speak about the marvels and mysteries of .tel. On the left of the page is a picture of a middle aged, a little bit overweight guy. And the words below keep changing:

.....

Theres a big difference between ....

BigRichards.com and BigD!cks.com ....

Domains by SEDO.

.....

Totally Totally unbelieveable.

Here are the important words for .mobites:

It is a telephone "redirect" - nothing at all like .Mobi.

This is good news.
