If you need to make a decision, first ascertain the facts:
1.) More than 4 years after launch the public awareness about .tel is absolutely zero.
2.) It’s impossible to find a .tel domain anywhere. For the single-pager from Telnames it’s even worse.
3.) Telnic cut almost all development more than 2 years ago!
4.) Doesn’t it sound suspicious that Telnic closed the forum and doesn’t response to customer requests?
5.) The very few people claiming they earn money with a .tel domain don’t want to reveal the domain name for it.
6.) Telnic philosophy is influenced by immorality and bad business sense: instead of thinking about customers and partners, they try to keep the benefit for themselves at Telnames.
7.) From the Telnic investment of 35 million dollars only enough money is left for 2 or 3 more years to cover the yearly losses.
The recommendation can only be:
1.) Don’t register a .tel, especially not from Telnames! The registration fee is waste of money, because nobody could find and visit your domain.
2.) If you own .tel domains as an investment, it would be best to drop them ALL, because nobody is having interest in developing them any further.
The idea of using the DNS was smart, but to make it a success it needs somebody who tries to bring it forward.
But no organization in the world is investing time in the necessary enhancements.
