.tel’s big players

It seems to me almost all quality .tel domain names are registered by very few people (only a dozen).

Check it out yourself:

Enter a quality .tel domain name (no matter what) in the Whois Search to lookup up the registrant - and in more than 75 % of all cases you will find one of the following names:

• Christian Herzog (no developed homepage)
  
• Christopher Vanderhorst: cinci.co
  
• Dan Prather: thealliance.com
  
• Daniel Fuehrer: network.de
  
• Handys Ltd: law.es
  
• Keyboard Brains: keyboardbrains.com & dottel.net
  
• Mark Kolb: kprobe.com & telmasters.com
  
• Mike Seaton: domains123.com
  
• Peter Horn: horn.tel
  
• Placidus Fernando: telcp.com
  
• Sergey V Timofeev (no developed homepage)
  
• Shahid Khan: shahid.tel

If your name is not on this list, either I’ve overlooked you or you are only a small fish like me. ;-)
