QUESTION: What now?

Telnic has proven that it's impossible to sell domains with the following methods:

• Providing domains with ugly design
  
• Offering one-pager with Telnames
  
• Distributing empty websites without content
  
• Doing nothing for years
  
• Stopping all communication
  
• Exaggerating statements about success and possibilities
  
• Cutting all relationships with partners
  
• Being stubborn
  
• Ignoring all helpful advices
  
• Banning the most loyal customers
  

So, should anything be done differently?

Over one month ago, we had the biggest possible change for .tel domains:

After this, the trend is showing clearly in one direction:

What else can happen now to prevent the disappearance of .tel in insignificance?

No, that's not true.
Last month, we hadn't a big change for .tel.
The opposite is the case:
The only good specialities of .tel has been cancelled (SEO and DNS).
It was foreseable that .tel will suffer if the only advantage of this domain extension will be destroyed.

Interesting: the majority of .tel owners have seen the announced changes as positive.

Now I realize that the new strategy of Telnic is another big mistake.

The most succeful companies make their fortunes by giving their customers what they want. As we can see, Telnic decided to go its own way and to do the opposite - to ignore it's customers needs. The results of such policies usually are are predictable: coming ruin and disaster.

As one forum user noticed:

Telnic voluntarily left its niche and so gave away all its advantages. So there is no wonder that a financial punishment for such behavior comes.

Yesterday I watched TV movie "Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less" (1990).

Today I found the book that movie was based on and read it online. I think it is very funny book because in some aspects it resembles me Telnic/Telnames LTD adventures.

Chapter 4 of that book is especially funny - I think that perhaps Telnic men were reading it during preparations for their deeds.

May be you can find English text for reading it online. Or drop one of your TELs and for the saved money buy the book in a paper form. Read it and the "third eye" shall open. : )



P.S.
It is pity that I cannot place here the quotations because I have the book not in English version.
