    I'm curious. There is a thing I do not understand.

    In December, in a few days, over 6900 .tel domains were registered by Chinese entities.

    They are domains of 5/6 random letters without meaning.

    These bulk registrations are normally seen for domains sold at 0.50 / 1.00 $ for the first year and are not renewed after the first year when the price becomes full. They are domains bought by speculators, spammers and phishers.

    By calculating a minimum price per domain of $ 9, it was an expense of more than $ 62,000.

    What does it mean?


    Example of some domains:

    gacgyy.tel
    gaoeaw.tel
    gauqkw.tel
    gawmie.tel
    gcaeia.tel
    gcegsa.tel
    gcqesq.tel
    gcseou.tel
    gcueci.tel
    gewmwe.tel

    Some of those domains are redirected to guoxn.cn.

    Here some information about the background:
    A lot of people in China have become millionaires in recent years.
    These people are searching desperately for investment opportunities.
    A lot of them invest their money in cryptocurrencies and domains.
    They buy every possible letter combination of domains from an extension they believe it could become a big success in the future.
    After some time (mostly after one year), they realize their mistake and drop the domains they have bought before.
    This is not only happening to .tel, but also to a lot of other new domain extensions.

    Please keep in mind:
    These people have tons of money; they just play a little bit with it!

    Thank you for your exhaustive answer.

    I understand that there are people ready to spend buying bulk domains of new extensions at low prices, but that there were people ready to spend a lot in an old extension like .tel is new to me.

    I‘m very sure that the mentioned .tel domains will be dropped 12 months after registration.
