Agree with everyone. .tel just makes no sense to me and frankly I do not understand why any domainer like the idea.

Just reinforces the idea that a lot of “domainers” are not really business men. If so why would they invest in such a waste of time and resources?

I havent bought any .tel domains either.

I agree with Gary it is amazing what they have done with the DNS but is there really any point to them?

Is it going to replace a business card? Nope!

So what is it going to do be there as a backup incase you forget a business card nope becase you can just tell them your website to go and visit i.e. CheapFood.us or what ever your site is called?

I dont get them and Im happy to be proved wrong, just dont see the point in .tel

Gary… I’m absolutely loving the analogy. Very well said.

I know a guy that can turn his eyelids inside out.

Just because he can; doesn’t mean he should, and it certainly doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

There’s no getting away from what .tel have done with the DNS is unique – but is that reason to make it a good idea?

I won’t be doing anything funky to my eyelids, and I won’t be buying any .tels either. I just can’t see the point.
