One can't actually develop their .tel. You'll probably see some info. plugged into an example and them explaining its benefits. I can't see .tel succeeding within myspace. You can do a lot more with a myspace profile than you ever could with a .tel, not to mention a profile is free as well ( hey, that rhymed :D )
Maybe that's what they'll do, maybe it's not. It is possible though that they are populating it, like everyone else, to get it started, while their developers are working away at builing interfaces to their profiles and the dot-tels they are selling to their users.
It seems VERY advanatageous to MySpace to try and sell you yourmyspaceid.tel with a bunch of features tied into it. Examples of these types of features could include:
- Synchronizing your profile info with your dot-tel
- Keeping friends updated on your non-MySpace contact information
- Managing contacts to enable MySpace use beyond personal profiles
MySpace has the resources to create very interesting dot-tel based applications. If they can see a value for their user base, they will do it and sell all of the dot-tels to go with them. Sounds like a nice way to turn freeloading MySpace users into paying customers with the addition of potentially expanding their user base.
For them, you still keep your MySpace profile and use their site, plus you use your dot-tel for all of it's advantages.
For you, you get to use your MySpace profile with all of it's frills but also get to use non-MySpace profiles and contact points for your friends, family, business associates, customers, colleagues, etc. etc.
Sounds like one of many easy match-ups for dot-tel and the benefits it carries.
