I admit, i like the idea of a stupidity fee, sounds like that it should almost be call that, doesn’t it.

Curious, how many different domains extensions are there out there??

Why wouldn’t a company such as yahoo, just buy there domain name in every extension, no matter of how stupid the domain extension sounds, so as it does cause problems like this. (time,hassle,the use of corporate lawyers, but more importantly, everyone knowing someone else beat them to there own name.)

Its just a thought.

In a word “validation”

Instead of commenting on the junior league move by Yahoo! I’ll stick to complimenting .tel

This domains value is increasingly becoming clearer to those formally not interested or aware previously, and honestly it’s about time.

As for the legal battles, my opinion is any company wishing to claim their .tel after the Sunrise, should pay a minimum fee to the original buyer, say $2500.

this way both parties can walk away feeling OK, one with 100x what he paid, the other with their important, branded, .tel.

This give me back what i threw in the trash yesterday because i’ve changed my mind now that you have it, is BS and at the very least they could pay the salvage man a small fee (we can call it the stupidity fee)

All the companies who failed to register .tel names will be fighting to get them. this is the only communications domain, and the only domain that has its own search engine. goodbye dot mobi haha .tel is real and here to make the next wave of communications on the internet.

I wished i bought more premium .tel domain names since commission junction announced pay per call affilate programs, i would be making a fortune next year.

@ Edwin – the only .tel case to be decided is novozymes.tel in favor of the complainant.
