Rather than just looking at the monthly Total .Tel Registrations (see 2012 and 2011 values), by clicking http://www.dottel.net you can see how this total is made up, and therefore what lies underneath the change in the overall total.
Here's the analysis from today's figures;
TOTAL = 247,970
TelChina = 74,989
Telnic IDNs = 85,123
Telnic Standard = 84,886
Telnames = 2,972
Telnic "Standard" domain totals are arrived at by taking the Total registrations and subtracting the figures for TelChina (TC), IDNs and Telnames (TN).
So Telnames .tels currently account for 3.5 % of Telnic Standard .tels.
I expect this percentage to rise dramatically as Telnames continues with its (admittedly low-key) marketing and Telnic Standard domains continue to get dropped - partly due to zero marketing of Telnic Standard but mostly due to the more attractive nature of the Telnames offering.
