.tel is lost

- .tel doesn't offer new services.
- .tel is more expensive than comparable services.
- .tel stands in competition with other website services and looks so ugly in comparison.
- Telnic's activities are close to zero! They almost don't work at all. This fact is hard to believe, but take a look at their output. I estimate they have reduced the number of employees to only 3 or 4 people.
- The community made all necessary suggestions to develop .tel into an useful tool, but Telnic act like a small, sulky kid and don't speak to anybody anymore.

You can believe me I would love to write anything positive about .tel, but like many others I have understood Telnic is unable to develop .tel into a nice solution accepted by customers. As long .tel is managed by Telnic, there is no change for growth of .tel!

Gime 20million to buy telnic to get the CEO job and I'll sort it, jk'n, theres still possibilities and one would be to section integrate the basic proxy with telnames and develop the theme as a featurette contact page. Thus making the basic proxy and other proxies storage mechanisms for data you want to share through a telnames expandable featurette/browser section.

Yes, it would be very easy to improve .tel for the better. And this is the only hope left: one day .tel could be managed by somebody who will listen to the customers and will act proactive. But this surely won't happen as long the same people are in charge!

Don't worry; this will happen.
Everybody can see that the people at Telnic don't act wisely.
Hence somebody will get fired and will be replaced.
As soon better skilled people will lead .tel, the success story will start quickly, because the concept itself is amazing and the needed steps are already well-known.
Hang on people; we only have to wait until a smart guy enters .tel.

Yes, it should happen in any case just because of mathematics:
January - 313 000 registred TELs, December - 240 000 TEls, the drop of 23%. Perhaps, dotTEL is the only gTDL which constantly declines.

Logically, if it will decline further in the same speed, then the moment will come then the rest of investors money will be spent. And then the decisions need to be made.
