Another dropdown list that will be required if a global directory to be created is Business Category of the .tel domain.

If I had the time (I don't) I could develop this myself, but I would never consider such a task without being able to know for certain which country and business category each .tel belonged to.

I don't believe any other software developer would either, so without these 2 key components being defined by dropdown lists (rather than free text) this global directory is likely to remain just a pipedream !

However, I do agree that standards make sense and should be implemented in the future via CTH. Google is able to find information without standards. Google uses high-level intelligence to sort through differences like United States vs USA. Telpages, as it evolves, needs to handle aliases in the same manner so that location data is returned no matter what form is saved.

That service looks seriously. But I found only example made with that service colosseum.tel. Do you have another TEL examples with new templates, and with videos and with big pictures?

TelVision is a visual editor of .Tel domains, not a service for templates (although haven't got all the bugs out for the new template editing). Not sure what exactly you mean?

Yes, that is what telvision is for, visually editing your domain and subdomains, inserting images and video, create subdomains, manage MX (email), general editing of everything you see. Just click on an object and edit it. It does most CTH functions except for deleting subdomains and reordering records.

.tel domains
- Background pictures for all .tel domain owners and for all templates
- Big pictures for all templates - not only template 8
- Ability to insert numerous pictures and at any position
- Ability to insert text at any position of the domain and formatting it (minimum: bold letters and itemization / listings – cursive and underlined text would be nice, too)
- Providing footer with links
- Masked URL - to cover long hyperlinks
- Buttons for social networks on all templates
- Individual logo for contact types
- Direct upload of pictures and videos
- Direct management of ads - without using third party tools
- Delivering “Free Calls” buttons
- RSS feeder for content updates
- Integration of contact forms - as seen on http://zouwei.tel
Delivering the designed features for template 8:
- Opening and closing sections
- Possibility for aggregation of several contact types
- Delivering modern icons
- Inserting text in the main body of the domain
Here requirements especially for the template from Telnames:
- Increasing the picture size of the image gallery - currently visitors need a magnifier
- Subdomains
- Integration of Telfriends also for Telnames
- Allowing more than 20 contact types
- Flexibility for sorting the content so that not every .tel at Telnames looks exactly like every other .tel from Telnames
Telpages
- Reasonable sorting of search results - domain content before subdomains
- Integration of standard features like on other search engines (previews / filters) and advanced search options (individuals / kind of business)
- Advanced user interface to sort search results by distance to the current location of the visitor - with specification about the distance
- Delivering valuable information from the found .tel domains in the search results of Telpages - instead of randomly and useless text phrases
Telfriends
- Reliable operation of friend request
- Developing the website Telfriends.org to a respectable resource which is working and where people can find something
Apps
- Possibility for registration of .tel domains on cell phones
