We all know .TEL is unique in that the data is stored at the heart of the internet, the DNS.
Users don't care about this, but computers and other "things" do, since it enables automated machine-to-machine access in a structured way.
There is a thread here about Dial-By-Name, but .TEL is capable of so much more interconnectivity - THE INTERNET OF THINGS.
Have a look at the video on this BBC Click link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/9782395.stm and start imagining what a .TEL could be used for !
One example, say I am away on holiday and have CCTV installed at home which takes positioning instructions from data held in a hidden subdomain of my .tel domain.
I could be anywhere in the world, but be reassured that the house was secure by using my smartphone to direct where the CCTV cameras were pointing and then view the resultant video stream.
A low-key example, but you get the idea, store machine-readable data in a hidden subdomain (i.e. no links from a user-viewable page), link it to any machine/device in your property, and control that through updating your .tel domain.
This really could be THE NEXT BIG THING - needs subdomains though to keep it all tidy !
What do you think - Is .TEL ready to seize this opportunity ?
