New .tel investors coming into play

A German woman named Isabell Bethke is discovering .tel and bought a huge amount of German .tel domains lately.

Yesterday she registered about 100 German .tels like:

• Bauhandwerker.tel
  
• Bauplatz.tel
  
• Bekleidung.tel
  
• Clubreisen.tel
  
• Speditionen.tel
  
• Sportgeschaefte.tel
  
• Sportwagen.tel
  
• Textilien.tel

That's nice also did you notice recently who the person was who dropped like 500-1000 domains over the last week or so that are all like SomethingPAGE.tel ?

Yes, Stefan Bradu from the USA is reducing his portfolio significant like many other .tel investors did before.

The CEO of Digitrad.com who built a .tel dialing solution in 2009 even dropped this year the most valuable .tel domains ever like:

• books.tel
  
• download.tel
  
• information.tel
  
• radio.tel
  
• television.tel
  
• venice.tel
  
• and hundred similar more

Can you imagine how much money he spent through Landrush - and last month he just threw them away?

Think he's willing to teltalk about it? I'd have liked to know his plan for those and his losses and if he expects to make up the losses on another tld or such.

Well telnic is only half to blame, it's hard to convince people to stick it out when other products and services start to bypass .tel functionality and make it look cheap compared to other tld, the new apple maps render .tel Google maps a little useless as iphone is the most popular, telnic can fix this by detecting a visit by iphone and switching to an embedded version of apple maps if that's even possible?

Maybe he'd like to talk about it as well? what he feels went wrong and why he decided it was no longer a good financial investment? what his traffic stats were on them.

We need the .tel to .tel registrar wallet payment system to build a virtual micro economy around .tels so people can donate and trade telephonic services and it will make .tel look less cheap as a paypal link can be put on any tld but only a .tel could make you rich if people can earn those credits in almost any way not just paying real money into the wallet, that will help people pay for domains and donate to each other, it's no good just having paypal as having a virtual currency that can be cashed out and that registrars can trade in return for what ever, or be used for telephonic services and trading will drive .tel to be used like a real world contact card is and not abandoned abused as if it's worthless.

Triple post my bad, what I mean is .tel should not be seen as just trading and selling domains, it should be seen as the services provided through it that's why a currency and http://twitter.com/minutebox behind the video window would make .tel a focal point of small businesses.
