Telnic should then build on it so that contact details can be transfered easily when paying, also those domains don't need to be visible in the proxy, they should be upgradeable to full web with a name of their choice at a later date if they wish to pay more aka an upgrade 'fee' or one solicited from taking payments into their random domain wallet or donation upgrade from another .tel community member, this is so telnic can sell as many of the .tel disposable domains as possible for low cost as cards with pre-paid cash on them, aka to be able to sell in bulk just like phone companies give out sim cards in bulk.
