.tel lost only 1,331 domains in June 2013: one of the strongest months from 2011 - 2013!

Having broken through the 220K barrier (see http://www.dottel.net), in a downwards direction, it's beginning to look like 200K will be breached by the end of this year.

There are 638 drops tonight - click http://www.dottel.net/daily-dot-tel-drops#drops to see if any take your fancy.

Telnames registrations are at 10,419 - given that Telnames is the only type of .tel now marketed I wonder if  Telnic/Telnames have got a figure at which it ceases to make business sense to carry on supporting the old Telnic subdomain .tel domains ?

I'm not saying this will definitely happen, but IMO everything points to this scenario being played out in the not too distant future.

I certainly am no longer prepared to spend hour after hour populating my Telnic subdomain .tels with such uncertainty hanging over their longevity.
