The Dot Tel Domain is still in pre-beta state
Telnic adds insult to injury: Launching IDN .tel domains
Posted by Lucius "Guns" Fabrice on June 7, 2010 · 5 Comments
Once considered “the new frontier” in domain names, the dot tel TLD has shrunk in size faster than George Costanza’s wiener in that Seinfeld episode.
Current data from HosterStats are rather disappointing: .tel has fallen below the 250,000 registrations mark, bringing its growth to a negative 10%.
This was to be expected, after the mutilated TLD – upon which one cannot build web sites – clocked one year of existence.
In May 2009, Telnic announced with great fanfare that .tel registrations crossed the 200,000 mark; by comparison, the highly successful .me is currently pushing 400,000 registrations.
One has to wonder whether there are a lot of Registry owned .tel domains in that 245,000 number of current .tel registrations. But we’ll never know for sure.
Adding insult to injury, after many domainers that fell for the promises of expanding on the .tel DNS and format capabilities dropped their domains in March, Telnic is now throwing in a new “option”: IDN .tel domains.
That’s right.
Moving onto the global territory that is not quite aware of the reduced capabilities of .tel as compared to any normal TLD, Telnic will now be tapping the multi-language market in several languages: Chinese, Danish, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.
They left out Klingon and Aramaic.
All of this of course does not matter; one cannot host, develop, park or monetize a .tel.
The introduction of AdSense on a TLD that is by default a bunch of hypertext links is ridiculous. The .tel TLD is nothing more than a glorified contact card that also falls behind in SEO exposure.
On June 15th, launch date of IDN .tel domains the usual sound of crickets will once again denounce what appears to be the first TLD ever to have made it past the ICANN “thought stables” while in pre-beta state.

Freelance Camp, Vancouver 2010: "dot tel: organized and up-to-date contact info".
« Freelance Camp, Vancouver 2010
dot tel: organized and up-to-date contact info
Participants at the Freelance Camp 2010 received a voucher for a .tel domain through webnames.ca – naturally, I wanted to set it up asap because I apparently don’t have enough websites.
Dot tel is an interesting idea: rather than a domain for any hosted website, it uses DNS records to display the information you input. The concept: you’ll use it to keep up-to-date contact info, rather like a digital business card. Rather than reprint contact information on your stationery or email your entire address book when you change your phone number, you’ll point everyone to your .tel address for the latest methods to reach you.
I chose meganseely.tel for my domain, and treated the account like a directory of what I do and ways you can pester me on the internet. I’m not sure how useful I’ll find this (or annoying,) but at the very least it gives me one place to look to see which social media I haven’t logged into or updated in months.
In a sudden fit of fancy, I added all my Second Life details. (How I’ve managed to run a virtual business in Second Life is probably a useful topic for another blog post, or twenty.) Both of my design companies are listed with all their contact details. My personal link includes my birthday, in case strangers feel compelled to buy me a drink or present on August 25th.
I found the interface for the .tel setup more than a little confusing. For example, there’s a section for keywords. This is for search engines, it claims. But the keywords section includes space to write your address, hobbies, nicknames, etc… and shows up on the page itself. (Note there’s no way to add an address under your general contact info.) I always thought keywords were… well… keywords.
I’d also have liked to see a bit more thought put into the themes for .tel. Now, I realize with an annual price tag of $20 and no hosting fees, it’s not going to be a full-fledged website, nor should I expect it to be. I’d like to have been able to change my font colours as well as my background colours, though, since the text defaults to white on several of the page design options and I use a pale silvery grey for everything Em Dashy.
I was a lot happier once I figured out I could have subdomains on .tel for all my information types. I’ve split it up by company, but you could easily do: Work, Personal, Social Media or Day Job, Freelance Company, Personal, etc. The subdomains worked quite well for me, since I’ve got more than one thing on the go.
Overall, for the price tag, I’d recommend getting a .tel for anyone who uses online networking for their business. More than just an online business card, it can serve as a one-stop spot for potential clients/customers to learn everything about you. Think LinkedIn without the boring resume reading.

Postscript: The generational gap is showing here: I’m young enough to see the “V-Card” link on the dot tel page, and think that if I click it, it means I’m no longer a virgin.

Great to see more people adopting .tel.
The beauty of .tel has yet to bloom, but there are 3rd party developments which will truly harness the power of DNS information in the mobile age. You’ll be happy to have yours!

Symsource releases its first Android application, for award-winning .tel names
Symsource Limited, the mobile engineering experts behind some of today’s most widely used applications, has announced the release of the My.tel application running on the Android platform.
Developed on behalf of Telnic Limited (http://telnic.tel) - which created the award-winning communications-focused .tel names - Symsource’s My.tel for Android management app allows users to manage their .tel contact information in real time. The application developed by Symsource supports Android OS 1.5 and is oriented to popular devices from HTC and other providers.
Gareth Jehu, Director of Operations at Telnic, commented: “Telnic has been impressed by Symsource's professional approach to product development, competitive pricing and their ability to meet our expectations within tight cost and quality constraints. These attributes have enabled us to move quickly and launch the .tel client into the Android marketplace at a time when market share for the Android operating platform is gaining rapid momentum."
Omid Rezvani, CEO of Symsource (http://symsource.tel), said: “We are delighted to be part of the .tel names ecosystem. The management application we have developed gives Android users the power to manage their instant mobile presence, enabling contacts to find them as soon as contact information, location and keywords have been published. Our app allows users to benefit from Telnic’s innovative technology, which reduces the cost of downloading data from the mobile web and significantly increases the speed of accessing real-time information. This is critical for smart phone users.”
