Almost a year after its launch, I believe that the .Tel has passed into history like so many others, I will personally get rid of most of them .. the other hand he remains .. you never know!

It was always Telnicâ€™s plan to move forward with IDNs at the end of 2009. Looks like they are keeping to that schedule.

Iâ€™m not certain, from a technical standpoint, whether there might still be issues with some IDN character sets.

Out of the next billion people who will be coming online, most of them are in China and South Asia – accessing the Internet from mobile devices. IDNs will be preferred in those areas.

Because they donâ€™t require external hosting, .tel domains will be more economical compared to display domains and therefore more appropriate in many IDN markets.

Yes, .tel is not good for speculators. Could that be a good thing?

There is no need for a .Tel. This suffix is a joke!!

.tel is still very new and because it has a different purpose (that of communications) it will take time to build as twitter did in first couple years (relatively unknown). I have as much faith in .tel becoming big as I do in silver bullion skyrocketing in value soon. Check out my http://www.bullion.tel to see a .tel in action.
