dotteler – dot tel domains

We were the first to notice that the potential of TEL-Domains is much greater than that of any other recently launched TLD!

Almost every day new tools are being presented to expand these possibilities. The .tel domain already even has its own search engine, Jepaa.com, which provides only .tel-page results.

The Swiss company Movetec behind Jepaa and other innovation projects around .tel now presents TEL-MACHINE.com with various useful functions available outside your registrar’s environment. More exciting tools are under development.

You can now use the following functions:

For each of these functions will be available soon, further information and instructions

Oleg Baskakov is a Java Developer living in Moscow, Russia. He has rich experience in a wide range of software development projects, including development of the mobile client-server platform for social network Gorod Znakomstv (“City of dating”) at Nikita, through to an SMS-delivery system in a MFM Solutions start-up, as well as working on the reporting systems for BNP Paribas bank whilst at software consulting company Neoflex.

He is currently working for premier Russian digital agency Actis Wunderman. However, Oleg is also the person behind bigcity.tel, an innovative .tel domain that automatically updates weather and activity information about big cities around the world.

“Many people remember the computer culture of demo-making in the 90s – a peculiar atmosphere of searching for creative solutions and developing impossible things, driving on the maximum of computer resources. Today, assembler code and byte optimization algorithms have lost their relevance, but in their time they opened new horizons for creative technology. Telnic has demonstrated this type of creativity by making an extraordinary present to all progressive people. Yes, I’m talking about .tel – an innovative take on traditional technologies. The .tel creates a multitude of possibilities for cutting-edge software which, in my opinion, have started a portable revolution in the domain industry.”

“When I first heard about .tel, I didn’t think it was particularly revolutionary, but the spherical image of the .tel logo hypnotized me! I couldn’t resist this power and fell into learning about .tel and its technical specifications. I was soon impressed by the domain’s capabilities and a fire of new ideas on how to leverage .tel blew up my mind, to the extent that I froze my current project for Google Andriod and switched on to .tel.”

“The main objective as I see it of a .tel domain is as a useful management of contact information, but the potential provided by this platform is much greater. bigcity.tel has been planned to expose some of that potential and show everybody how .tel domain owners might develop these opportunities. Sometimes I need certain information about weather and upcoming concerts, but have no computer access.” Read more…

If you need to know how many people use the phone numbers that you publish on your .tel, you can subscribe to a service called “remote call forwarded phone number” or “market extension line”.

Most phone companies offer this service, which gives you a tracking phone number that you put into .tel. When somebody uses that number, the call is forwarded to your actual line, but call duration and the total number of calls is tracked by the phone company. You then get a report with all the data to demonstrate how your .tel phone line is working.

If your phone company does not provide the service you need, setup a tracking line forwarded to a toll-free number, which will provide you with similar statistics. Most phone companies charge for the tracking number service, but it’s usually a relatively small investment that can give you a lot of useful information.

Telnic reports 200,000 registrations for .tel domain name.

Telnic Limited (www.telnic.org), the registry operator for the new communications-focused .tel top level domain (TLD) nominated for a 2009 World Technology Award and InfoCommerce Group 2009 Model of Excellence Award, today announced that over 200,000 registrations of domains had been received within two months of General Availability.

“This is a truly remarkable milestone considering current economic conditions and with the attention of the world on global events, but proves that a simple but compelling service under the control of the individual has significant potential,” said Khashayar Mahdavi, CEO of Telnic.

“As early adopters start using the .tel as their single point of contact, more and more individuals and businesses are seeing that it’s an incredibly useful way to manage the complexity of communications choices in one single place online.”

The success and momentum of .tel continues as new resellers start to address their specific audiences with the benefits of .tel, from German directory services specialist iWelt (http://www.iwelt.de/) through to new directory services entrants such as US-based Industrial Web Search (http:// www.industrialwebsearch.com).

Mahdavi adds: “The innovations that the community around the .tel is building means that every day we are seeing new purposes and opportunities for revenue generation, from individuals promoting themselves with the .tel domains online through to large organizations completely refreshing their existing business models fuelled by .tel technology. It’s an exciting time for us and one that many still have the opportunity to participate in. This is just the beginning.”
