A New York company achieved Telnames' business targets

http://SinglePlatform.com makes it easy to showcase and update your business's most important information everywhere local consumers are making decisions online.

This has been the target from Telnames, but nothing can be heard about it: http://www.telnames.com/telnames-partner-network

http://SinglePlatform.com looks good on the surface - haven't tried it out myself - but it has one vital flaw !

You will never get "critical mass" - or anywhere near it - charging users a massive $79 per month !

I do like the following quote from the http://SinglePlatform.com site:

"The golden rule for every business man is this: Put yourself in your customer’s place." - Orison Swett Marden

We all know Telnic/Telnames are avid readers of the TelTalk Forum - not sure they would agree with the above quote though !

SinglePlatform is successful; Telnames isn't:

So there must be more factors than only pricing!

@Expert - interesting article - they did very well to get taken over for $100,000,000 after being in existence for just 2 years !

The more I think about it the more I realise just how un-proactive (what I mean is the opposite of pro-active) Telnic have been !

THE OPPORTUNITIES LOST IN THE 16 YEARS SINCE TELNIC WAS FORMED IN 1998 ARE JUST MIND-BOGGLING !

Telnic was very sure about the success of .tel:
http://www.teltalk.org/t423-comparision-of-the-five-year-financial-projections-for-tel-before-after
Therefore Telnic thought that hard work wouldn't be necessary.
This also explains the whole mess with .tel!
