Telnames deal with 118 218 ?

There have been several hundred mostly Telnames new registrations in the last couple of days.

Here's 3 by way of example:

http://partenaire-habitat-courquetaine.tel

http://partenaire-habitat-evry-gregy-sur-yerre.tel

http://partenaire-habitat-salins.tel

If you check the Whois entries at...

https://easywhois.com/?domain=partenaire-habitat-courquetaine.tel
https://easywhois.com/?domain=partenaire-habitat-evry-gregy-sur-yerre.tel
https://easywhois.com/?domain=partenaire-habitat-salins.tel

...you will seee that the registrant is the same Paris-based organisation 118 218.

Not sure exactly what the purpose is at the moment - SEO or useful content ?

Interesting to note that the phone numbers on all 3 .tels mentioned above are identical - so not much use as a lookup directory !

This "deal" makes it pretty clear that Telnames single page - not Telnic subdomain .tels - are what is being used as a negiotating position for bulk sales.

IMO it's only a matter of time (or money running out) before the original Telnic subdomain .tels become obsolete and of no further interest to Telnic/Telnames.
