    Thanks boracay, have put my order in, it's saying "taken" when I search a lot them (excluding cctlds of course), does that mean people have already ordered them?[/size]

    dottel.net05-17-2011 03:15 PM




    it means someone has already pre-ordered it. is first come first served on the preorder queue.

    doesn't mean you've reg'd it as many other registrars will also be looking to reg names at the same time come june 1st...

    boracay.tel05-17-2011 03:16 PM

    See:

    Some of 2-letters are still available for landrush pre-order.

    Besides, I've tried the numeric Chinese "411" and "911" dial number, they are both available till now.

    dottel.net05-18-2011 09:11 AM




    i only just looked at your app boracy - very nicely done, super slick professional and draws the person in.

    one question - i was always under the impression yellow pages was trademarked so you can't use it on your literature/product....

    last mont i tryed to purchase a teldomain treu sedo but the seller didnt respond i payd 51 euro for it 
    wast it yours dottel?

    Simon G05-18-2011 12:08 PM




    dutchstreetdog for your info.

    Sedo charges commision so when making an offer take this into consideration. Not sure what it is on a .tel but with .com etc the fee was either a percentage or $60 so a 59 euro offer would leave little room for profit after reg fees.
    Sometimes its better to contact via whois

    dutchstreetdog05-18-2011 12:14 PM




    hello
     
    simon thanks for the respons
    Well it was a done deal i already payd true paypal so with the 51 euro it was all inclusif i think

    Hi there, to those that are interested... we are using the latest Xcode for iOS. We have not submitted to apple as yet, still in hobby status. But do have it installed on approx 10 ipad and iphone devices here on the island and getting some good feedback re the directories navigation (is ease of use). Lots of data missing as many have pointed out

    The boracayApp.com website was uploaded 2 or 3 months ago to grab attention in google search results prior to being in the actual app store. Have a more refined interface today that we are just about satisfied with.*

    The mapping function is awesome and makes the app wrapper totally worthwhile building. ...and the search is very central as well. I ask some pretty tough questions of telnic upcoming functions. Trying to keep the app layouts rendering as expected. Sorry Aled, Nadya

    Need to carefully craft your .tel directory to suit an app wrapper. But this app surely could be used for others directories. It's very very simple. Just uses the mobile proxy to render in a webwiew

    Not too concerned either way but .tel is *off the radar currently. Won't push our app or our .tel too hard until telnic make a lot more noise. Well, it's a tough directory sell without the app wrapper for navigation. You need to "find it. Fast" ...

    Hobby status.
    Cheers

    it's still in development. Placeholders for now..... But this from answers.com


    Generic or descriptive trademark not enforceable

    There are several hundred different companies using the phrase "yellow pages" or "yellow page" as part of their trademarks, but (at least in the USA) they cannot prevent each other from using the words "yellow pages" in other combinations (e.g., "Bumpkinville Yellow Pages" could be a new trademark).[/size]

    dottel.net05-18-2011 01:48 PM




    hi - nope, didn't receive any offers for one of my name. you can pm me the name or check the whois to see the admin email. as others suggested, might make sense to contact the owner direct as sedo charges $50 commission on a tel sale...

    I did pre-order with name.com 5 domains and I got all 5 like: http://16.tel for directories sweet sixteen parties UK, USA, http://4g.tel for 4g phones http://08.tel for phone calls in UK like #: 0800, 0808, 0845, 0870, 0871 etc. http://15.tel for directories for sweet fifteen in 20 countries in Latin america and the last http://18.tel site for adult.

    Also I did one pre-order 3D.tel with eurodns but I did not get it

    Let see how it will go with this premium I did not apply for aa.tel or fb.tel because I knew thousands will go for them so, and even the same registers companies will try to get them so, for me was wasting money trying to get them.

    Good luck for anyone in your new aventure[/size]

    I don´t know what will do con 00 because I think by now the telephone call by the dottel is green, so we´ll need to wait at least 10 years to see how will work the names call.[/size]

    Tindaya you have got great domain http://00.tel just to start you can make a nice site on international code numbers around 200 countries use 00 as code ex:
    to call to your con=untry spain is: 0034, to UK 0044, to Colombia 0057, to Norway 0049, to Argentina 0054 etc, etc.
    After some one click and get knowledge on spain code #: you can put content on capital Madrid, currency etc the more content more change to bring surfing and more change to put ads.

    Looks like there is a mix up at name.com..
    Certain Landrush names that were pre-ordered at name.com have been regged under same aplicant's name by domainsite.com, a sister site of name.com. But a different registrar altogether!!

    And no conformation from name.com up to now.

    dottel.net06-02-2011 07:34 AM




    confirmed & created 2 letter & numeric regs from yesterday here:
    http://dottel.net/daily-dot-tel-registrations#regs

    interesting set of numeric tel's reg'd during the landrush
    it seems there's also a bunch working their way through the system so we should get a better picture with tmrws daily regs.

    Judging by some of the early numeric activated tels, many will be directories. Geo Populate will help create them quicker.

    tindaya06-02-2011 01:58 PM




    Yes, 13.000 million of 07, but 07.com,. 07.org, 07.net are out. So, I think, in 2 months, 07.tel wil be in the 100 first positions.

    Now, the site:.tel is increace quickly, and I think this is good for all, all dottel. We must create subdomains for google and get the mass critic, and then, dottel will be the same that .net or .org

    I ordered my tel from hexonet.net. They dropped it into my account but they are in Germany and support is now slow. I created the zone for ok.tel but thats about all I can find. Does anyone know how to create the CTH userid and password using their control panel?

    I would never allow Yellow Pages to advertise on my site.
    If we start doing this the whole idea of making directories with .tel sites is wasted

    No, not really.

    As Telnic has discovered and as I wrote about in this post
    Yellow Pages will be the biggest ally that .tel has, directories included.

    The "Big Picture" looks like this:

    Telnic would love to be the Global Listing and Global Directory King of the World.

    Just one problem - history, recognition, reputation, validation, i.e. "trust" et al.

    Hmmm, Yellow Pages wins (or do they) ?

    Yellow Pages is a country by country scenario, each with its own identity, etc.

    This means that there are hundreds of "Yellow Pages" entities, and no King of the World.

    If Telnic can get the individual countries on board with .TEL, the King of the World is Telnic.

    Best shot against the likes of Google .... Telnic and Yellow Pages teamwork !



    This may appear to hurt individual directory operators, but you can do better for a directory
    than they can as a category operator, so compete and win, and thank them for the .tel help !

    Your category will be the directory of choice in the Global Yellow ... , I mean Tel Pages !

    And YP will never allow any other outgoing link from their pages.
    Links from YP owned .tel domains don't even have any links to other pages within the same .tel domain.
    We did a little research on Macao YP directory listings at www.yp.mo/en_US/. There is no mention of any links to .tel domains from them. But their clients' .tel domains (one page .tel domains) have links to the YP online. So whoever comes to any of their clients' .tel domain, either dials the clients number or goes back to YP. Just redirecting all traffic back to YP. That's how they operate.

    Well, we must accept this as a challenge and concentrate on our own directories.
    We should worry only if YP decides to buy the .tel registry. Until then we dont see any threat to other .tel domains and their directories. The worst scenario for the .tel tld is when one day all YP companies decide to drop all their names. Then the registry will just shrink back to square one. Nothing else. We hope this will not happen. But anything is possible in today's marketing strategies.[/size]

    crunching through the numbers - telchina and yp partnerships now account for around 60% of all tel reg's.

    imagine they hadn't happened, tel reg count would be sitting at the 140k mark!!!
    next key milestone I see is whether the 90k or so telchina regs renew....

    But no WHOIS record anywhere (where we looked in).

    At first, certainly - then reality set in when "Bing" was no threat at all to "Google" when unveiled.

    So, no threat, but the reality of a better tool, and possibilities.

    So, then Ian Bowen-Morris of Yell.com.
    And, Then Yellow Pages Macau, Yellow Pages Turkey, Yellow Pages Egypt ....

    (There are of course non-Yellow partners, but the big headlines are still Yellow)

    I think that time has already shown that "foe" is in the past "for the most part".

    "Yellow" is the still single biggest mindset asset today (as a global rule) regardless 
    of what transpires in the future in the way of "trust et. al."

    It will take decades to change the hearts and minds from "Yellow" to "Whatever".

    The claims that a younger generation "has already bailed" is way overblown.

    New YP.com popularity shows that technology and trust together beats technology alone.

    We might as well appreciate the friendship, it will likely last for decades to come !

    Considering the progress w/o Yellow, it is a very welcome friendship IMHO !

    Phase 2 depends on "mass acceptance" - I will push the "Yellow" friendship heavily !

    Look at it this way:

    (Y1+TEL)+(Y2+TEL)+(Y3+TEL)+(Y4+TEL)+(Y5+TEL)
    TEL IS THE COMMON, GLOBAL DENOMINATOR

    I can answer this one VERY well, as I got the SHAFT on this one.

    I pre-Registered, got first submission at launch, and ......

    .... SUDDENLY it is "not available and on a "reserved" list"

    No disclosure, no reserved list prior to my successful submission, nothing.

    Just a big kick in the sensitive area ... I could go on, but ...

    ( I wasn't going to even bring it up, but since you asked )

    Then, its possible that a submission from someone else went in first (they all happen in fraction of secs). That is very well understood. But the mystery is what happened to the WHOIS records. At least it should indicate pendingCreate somewhere to somebody. 
    One day we'll find out anyway.

    No, this was never the case, the submission was valid, as was the pre-registration.

    The problem was simply that the domain was placed in a reserved status and was
    allegedly never available to be registered in the first place.

    This of course is only disclosed after the pre-registration, the submission, the split-second "win", etc. 
    - with no mention whatsoever until AFTER the event (Telnic has acknowledged the event).

    Just a waste of time and money, as well as robbing me of another potential registration.

    To say I was robbed of the only 2-letter, critical domain that I had plans for goes without saying.

    So, I won't say it.

    I'm sure I wasn't the only one disappointed on Wednesday, but the reason here .... Ouch.

    [size]
    Yes and No.

    There are literally thousands of goods and service classes and descriptions in use.

    Only "so many" are associated with any Mark.

    YP is a trademark for a small number of goods and services, and more than one company.
    YP is NOT a trademark for a far greater number of goods and services than it is.

    That anything is a Trademark is relevant only to its registered goods or services statement.

    This NEVER gives anyone an exclusive use of a mark for anything they choose, 
    nor the right to any domain name simply because they have a Trademark.

    A sunrise period for Trademark owners, as Telnic did in 2008-2009 prior to Landrush is a courtesy.

    My intended use was never in the goods or services classes of ANY currently registered.

    There is no legitimate reason to isolate it as reserved, and certainly no reason not to disclose it.

    You've used Free Text fields actually, not notes, and since you have less than 4,000 characters, put into one large free text field instead with paragraph breaks as needed.

    Good that report is from 2000 and nothing current. 
    .Tel and DNS far outweighs what any proposed .yp tld could offer if the domain would be based on standard HTML web building. Can't wait until YP starts offering .tel en masse so there is critical mass appeal, but hoping that critical mass comes sooner.

    Simon G06-04-2011 03:33 PM




    Thanks Mark,
    Agreed direct use of DNS gives .tel the lead. Dont think two letter stlds/gtlds are permittable by icann.. unless a country changed its name

    [size]
    FX.tel will not be a problem - F1.tel could have been although many other organisations have this as a trademark apart from Formula One.

    Trademarks are registered in relation to specific Classes of activity, within the specified Country (or regional area), so that gives a lot of permutations where you cannot claim that you are the only person/organisation who has the right to use a particular mark.

    Bernie Ecclestone found this out in February 2011 - see Formula One Group loses F1 trademark fight.

    F1.tel has been pre-registered by someone for the end of the Landrush period, so if no-one buys it at the current price it will get snapped up at normal registration cost.

    They may or may not get hassle from Bernie's lot - how they develop it can of course influence this.

    yup - all the recent posted buys and reg's haven't been updated on the blog as i've been busy with a few other things.

    will get the list updated and published shortly - don't think we're close to proclaiming they're all sold yet

    tel4rent07-23-2011 10:58 AM




    I guess Telnic should hire us for pushing their sales up...:)

    Dottel!!! good job man!

    yup - am hoping seeing an ever growing shorter list and distributing this to my twitter followers, etc has played a tiny part in helping getting the numbers down..... folks should do the same to their followers, etc

    i'd say 50-100 uniques per day is good going.[/size]

    marimax08-20-2011 05:27 AM




    So I already have 3 .tel domains doing better than this

    dottel.net08-20-2011 10:24 AM




    well done - nice to see your tel's are seeing good traffic.

    tel4rent08-20-2011 10:37 AM




    Hi Marimax,

    Good to hear that...Would you share the name of the site? May be we could learn a tip or two

    Yes please, deliver us your wisdom marimax.
    Would really appreciate your help.

    marimax08-22-2011 05:17 PM




    There is nothing magical about it just a good and precise geo name like for example Bostonlawyers,
    Torontorestaurants, Denverdoctors.
    I don't want to reveal my domains yet as I am working on a large network of geo domains and until it's ready I will not tell you.
    Also out of 3 one is an adult domain and I will never reveal it in public.
    I may add that I do not advertise or promote my domains anywhere. Because they precisely relate
    to a city and a profession this is the reason they are getting so many visitors.
    I dumped all my good but useless .tel domains and only kept and registered more of the type of domains I mentioned here

    Cees08-24-2011 10:24 AM




    Interesting Example's Marimax,
    Bostonlawyers.tel is listed for sale a $ 25,000 Canadian, a little on the optimistic side I feel.:)

    marimax08-24-2011 08:39 PM




    I don't own it and because I already own over 200 geo .tel names I will not rush to make an offer.
    I think I have enough and if .tel become popular I will make enough money to rest for the rest of my life somewhere under the palms in perhaps Boracay.
    On the other hand I still wonder if people fully understand the concept behinfd .tel but if they do why would anyone register .tel names like Spring, Ginseng, Pig, Named.
    These are a great one word names but with .tel TLD ? Give me a break specialy when domains like
    Londondoctors, Denverlawyers, Miamidentists and many others are still open

    dottel.net08-25-2011 12:00 AM




    directories are not the only way to use a .tel to generate traffic to your site/business

    i.e. ginseng if populated with several keyword rich folders with some unique content in each folder will index well and start generating long tail traffic to your site. not bad for $10 a year

    Good point dottel.net, with 1,220,000 searches per month for "ginseng" on Google alone, at an average CPC of £1.23, Ginseng.tel would for $10 per year make an excellent investment.

    All my sites are directories. I don't have any other sites. Time will tell if i am right or wrong
