Hi

For this, let's assume that .tel will not be a total flop.

What type of keywords will be most valuable for this extension? Will it be geographical keywords, like newyork.tel, losangeles.tel, etc, or what else?

So what ? Is that the lifeline ? It would be yet another extension.

Yep, it will become as another extension, but it can do major role than .net if they promote it properly.

Because they think it's nineteen eighty fiiiiiive

.tel brnigs something new. It appreciate and takes benefits of this feature.
The good question would be: is the population of people using specific .tel feature is a growing one ?
I personnaly think that yes. Future will tell us.
Hope .tel will suceed in being the best contact oriented tld, as .com as suceed in beeing the best content oriented tld.

If you are so convinced that .tel is dead why should you and others alike post on this thread ?

Why should you bother anymore ?

Because I care about my fellow domainers.:loveyou: How long are you guys going to hold your breath over this extension? You are better off buying a .mobi, learning some type of development and creating a revolutionary platform.

The future is already here. They did a mass promotion with Myspace months ago and it failed miserably to adapt. Personally, I think "normal users" have a hard time understanding what the hell it is. The platform is bad, the advertising is bad and the adaption is bad. Leaving out the ability for developers to help with promotion and adaption, mix that in with the suffocating restrictions. And here we are how long later?

It won't happen because there is way too much competing with it. .Tel restricts too much and prevents growth.

You never give up don't you :gl:

Sure, soon there will be 80+ millions .tel registered...

Indeed, how did that pan out ? The registry is silent about those rare marketing attempts.

I want to offer all .tel fans a big hug.
Right now, it's two for the price of one :sold:

Aggregate = all the damn .tel in your portfolio. E.g. hundreds of them.

I still offer a big hug to .tel fans.

Following the development of .tel there have been som quite "positive" developments lately

DomainsBot namespinner will start suggesting available .tels

This is quite big news since:

Domains bot is licensed by the majority of the world's best-known Internet domain name retailers including GoDaddy, Tucows and Register.com.

Daniel Ruzzini Mejia, Co-Founder & CSO, DomainsBot. "The .tel domain is now a significant part of being found on the internet, as it helps potential customers find what they're looking for cheaply and quickly, regardless of the device or application that the person looking for the content is using; we wanted to make it possible for our customers to participate in this next wave of innovation for the Internet."

DomainsBot Helps Business, Professionals and End-Users Easily Find a new .tel Name | TradingMarkets.com


.Tel is cooperating with a company focused on selling .tels in china.

Whats interesting is that one of the persons behind this company appears to have been nothing less than a key person at CNNIC?

รฆยลฝรฅโ€ฆโ€ฐรงลกโ€œ/Li Guanghao/Howard
LI Guang Hao is currently Chief Operation Officer in TelChina.

Prior to this newly started enterprise, he was the Director of International Affairs at China Internet Network Information Center. At that position, he was one of the leading person of the ".China" IDN ccTLD application project. He was the application representative for China's IDN ccTLD. See ICANN | IDN ccTLD Fast Track String Evaluation Completion Prior to those positions, he was the deputy director of General Administrative Office and head of the international affairs at CNNIC. He had been working on policy research and development since joint CNNIC. He had an in depth involvement in domain name registry operation at both policy side and business side. He actively participated in international forums like ICANN, ISOC, IGF, APTLD and etc. In these forums, he is one of the major drivers of IDN development. He is currently the board member of DotAsia and AC of ISOC. Aside from his international presence, he also has rich knowledge in Chinaโ€™s domestic Internet community. He has been taken the roles of: 1. Jury member of the first China WebBlog Contest sponsored by Peopleโ€™s Daily; 2. Member of expert panel for ICP Recording System Phase II; 3. Director of ISCโ€™s Blog Study WG secretariat and drafter of ISC Webblog Services Code. Guang Hao Li holds a master degree in e-commerce from Utah State University in USA.

Another politician grabs a dot tel domain name to use as his single point of entry:
George Smitherman for Mayor

Since politicians use and advertize their .tel they reach out to a bigger mass than most people do.

Key persons are adapting .tels

Looks like several key persons such as head of sales, communications, marketing and presidents are getting and using their .tels!

Now if you think about the impact of this it makes it even more interesting.

I bet that they do not market their personal .com domains to their peers but they do tell the about their .tel domain.

This makes the future of .tel look quite bright.

This can make .tel spread quite fast among the right people.
If they have a .tel than everyone else who want to be something want to get their own .tel...

If its adopted by the top business persons it will get into business cellphones.

A list of agroup of 125 people

I need your advice on the following :
I intend to build a list of 150 persons, each one having their picture, phone number, street adress, email.
Should I develop a dot tel or a dot mobi website ? Which one of those 2 is more appropriate for my need ?

I would say .tel is ideal for your needs. While you could use other TLD's to accomplish your task but none easier, cheaper and less time comsuming than .tel.
