I guess .tel does tie everything together. It lets the end user decide how to contact someone, whether it is a quick phone call or e:mail. The key is really getting a good short name. Imagine an attorney's office Shuster, Smith, and whatever .com or FloridaLawyer.com, or .tel. or .info. It is the easy to remember domain name that is most important.

But then it’s not surprising considering how little margin registrars can make from .tel registrations." Personal safety is very important. Not all countries are safe from criminals who can use your private data for making harm to you, your family or your property. So the "Privacy" should be offered for .tel domain uses. I would like to show my bussiness contacts but I do not want anyone will know my home address and other personal data. “It’s ironic that you’d be offered whois privacy on a .tel domain that’s main purpose is to make your contact info public.

The success of .tel completely depends on the features and flexibility in using it. Actually, I bought .tel thinking that my customers/employees can have their contact info under one roof (.tel) to display by having their own sub-logins while I have the main login to .tel but it looks like there is no such option.

Telnic worked out a deal with ICANN to make this available. You can set up a .tel domain but keep information private from the general public, such as your phone number. If you had to include it in whois then that would defeat the purpose." That's an interesting tidbit, thanks! Although, I'm not sure that including public data in whois would defeat the purpose as much as enhance the purpose (of making yourself reachable). “whois privacy is free on .tel.

You can also set up several category folders dave, leading to more revenue for your keyword.tel. The more I think carefully about .tel, the more sense it makes, however domainers should think carefully about what domains to purchase to extract value. I just bought the following: Cheaplaptops.tel CheapComputers.tel KitchenDesign.tel The point here is, I could potentially promote and brand one "telephone" contact number in the United States & the UK for instance and cut deals with suppliers, or I could have dealers list their contact details. Either way, it looks like there could be serious money to be made with the right domains if done correctly. @Dave “It seems to me that a .tel contact page can be set up similar in format to sponsored ad listings, but with only one website link: MINE!”

It seems to me that a .tel contact page can be set up similar in format to sponsored ad listings, but with only one website link: MINE! I'll take my chances that the type-in traffic for a premium .tel will generate more marketing bang for the buck than continuting with business as usual. Ten click-thrus in one year is all I need to break even! If you've got a better idea, I'd love to hear it.
