Rumors about myself

After I've opened this forum I got some private messages asking if I’m either related to Telnic or to other domain investors.

The answer to both speculations is NO (with the restriction that I know a few .tel owners personally - but I've never met anyone from Telnic).

Why I put so much work into this forum?

I own a small, but nice selection of .tel domains and I expect someday .tel will be a widespread technology, because I don’t see any other competitors offering a proper DNS solution.

On the other hand I see some wrong progress:

• Software development is declining.
  
• Marketing activity is declining.
  
• Communication to the public is declining.
  
• Registration numbers are declining.
  
• Awareness for .tel is declining.

Probably this website can’t change many of these observations, but in my opinion a public forum which offers an active and unlimited communication can help a little bit not to forget the TLD .tel.

Sometimes only the right people need to be addressed to guide a technology into the right direction.
I don’t want to stand beside it - and perhaps by accident a visitor of this platform with influence will see the great potential of this undiscovered technology.

In addition I like to communicate freely with other people sharing the same interest!

That’s it; I don’t follow any other targets by running TelTalk.org! Believe it or not!

So I would be very happy if YOU (the current reader of this post) will join us here!
You're very welcome!

Great post Alex
I must admit, when I first saw your name it looked like Aled. funny

Yes great forum Alex.

I stopped posting on Telnic's forum (except for domain sales) once they introduced "Lock-Down" and despite repeated polite requests refused to remove it.

The idea that newbies will bother to register at a forum when coming across .tel for the first time is simply unrealistic - and .tel cannot afford to lose any potential interest whatsoever !

It does seem like the major contributors from Telnic's forum are moving over here - as long as posters do not insult other forum members it does make sense to allow complete freedom of views.

I did actually request that those permanently banned from Telnic's forum (JLouisBiz, Mactel, etc.) be allowed back so that alternative viewpoints could be heard, but alas to no avail.

So great forum that's now buzzing with contributions in much the same way that Telnic's once did.

Long may it continue !

Thank you very much!

The similarity to Aled is just a coincidence; my full name is Alexander.

Oh yes; as long the TLD .tel exists, I'll try to support it.

And I don't mind if critical voices accompany it.
