I try to imagine the most realistic scenario for the future of .tel:
1. Telnic won't have enough money to exist soon (due to the known financials).
2. No one else will be interested in taking over the business of .tel (due to the great lack of interest generated during the last years).
3. ICANN will choose Neustar (registry for .biz and .us as well as technical registry for .tel, .co, .cn, .tw, .buzz, etc.) to continue the operation with only a minimum of effort for it (because Neustar is busy with other things than expanding the business for .tel).
Here some insight about Neustar:
