    What if ... ? Empty What if ... ?

    Post by Alex 2012-06-13, 6:36 pm

    We all know in spring 2011 something unknown happened to Telnic, because from that moment software development, communication, roadmap, marketing activity, monthly newsletter and press releases have been stopped (not completely, but to a minimum level).

    What happened last year, so Telnic decided to undertake such a dramatic change in strategy?

    Some possibilities:

    • Money has run out.
    • Recalculation of future revenues to a lower level.
    • Complete redesign of the .tel platform which needs an effort for software development more than a year.
    • Takeover negotiations with a bigger company which will control the future strategy and therefore running activities have been stopped.
    • Anything else?

    Which of these presumptions are realistic?

    In my opinion Telnic's biggest mistake was not to create aggressive marketing.
    On one hand the marketing activity has been very low, but what I've missed the most was a real sales agent who promote dottel to internet specialists and insiders of the internet industry.
    When looking at the staff at Telnic they seem to be just too nice, but there is no go-getter who can convince others.

    How about tens of thousands of web sites promoting .Tel on a "pay-by-results" basis ?

    I've suggested this to Telnic/Telnames several times on the Telnic forum - the use of Affiliates to generate sales growth is a standard technique used by just about every major company (and many medium/small companies) on the internet - http://www.CJ.com and http://www.TradeDoubler.com (to quote just 2 affiliate portals) have massive numbers of publishers worldwide looking to promote advertisers products and services.

    Do Telnic/Telnames really believe they can grow by "word of mouth" as Facebook did ?

    The reality shown by http://www.hosterstats.com/DomainNameCounts2012.php would suggest otherwise !

    There is some truth there. I may guess that someone in authority complained over actual good work of moving with the community, so they simply stopped what they were doing.

    Hello Jean Louis - long time since we spoke on the Telnic forum (I no longer post there since they introduced, and have refused to release, Lock-Down).

    IMO the reason Telnic stopped (or didn't start) developing the 3 new design-winning templates (see http://99designs.co.uk/web-design/contests/tel-design-decade-63737) was a decision to start development on the Telnames.com web site, the new one-page Telnames image/video template, revise the CTH and produce a Telnames Control Panel.

    Given the work involved in the above, coupled with the loss of some development staff in the second half of 2011, it does seem unlikely that the 3 new Telnic templates will ever see the light of day.

    These new templates were originally scheduled for release in Q2 2011 (1 April 2011 to 30 June 2011) - see Roadmap thread at http://www.teltalk.org/t145-the-long-lost-tel-roadmap-uncovered - and kept getting put off bit by bit until a year later there still appears to be nothing there.

    Of course I could be wrong and Telnic may surprise us - it's not something I would bet on though !

    Which is why I believe the Telnames template - whatever you, I or anybody else thinks of it - will end up being the predominate or only .tel template style in use within 12 months.

    Isn't it funny how they need more than a year for 3 templates. I mean three???

    In that long time, my grandmother would write the three templates while typing with her toes.

    WOW !

    Say that in the UK with your real name and address available and you are likely to be sued for a large amount of damages for libel.

    Unless it was true of course - do you have any proof ?

    There was a case recently of a UK victim of malicious comments on FaceBook going to court to demand (they were successful) FaceBook reveal the identities of the people making them. They are now going to pursue the individuals for damages.

    All that's needed is a valid email address to track someone down (unless they always post from a public computer using disposable email addresses).

    Your email address gives your IP address which gives your ISP which gives your name and address from your credit card or other payment mechanism.

    So my friendly advice is be careful what you say - unless you can back it up with proof !

    TELNIC decided to make legal action against everybody saying bad about them.

    Maybe they have in-house police to go after everybody writing any fantasy about them.

    I was surprised to find out how Aled is observing closely at which days do I register TEL domains. ZERO PRIVACY POLICY and dirty spying looks close to KGB.

    So far has Telnic taken any legal actions against anybody?

    Sounds interesting! What is the background of this story?

    He revealed that to me in the email where he argued how TELNIC is gonna take steps against my genuine complaints and my statements.

    I don't care if my statements are protected by free speech laws. I say what I think it is. If there would be genuine remedy or genuine assistance, I would say, they did help or remedied the case.

    But as of now, I have no access to maybe 50 domains, about 950 TEL pages, because their system does not work. So, why would I say or praise it or kiss someone's asses before the paid product start working.
