"Budget $75".

Professor Tom Keenan about the dot tel domain


... As the tentacles or arms of the internet expand, so does the potential of dot-tel domains.

While getting a dot-tel now may seem like an exercise in vanity, there is a good chance that it will pay off in the future.

The best is, undoubtedly, yet to come.

Ok, here we are:

One minute, to enter a location (local DMV office)....:
Lets see, how it works...:

1.) Go to: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/

2,) It is probably tis contact information, one would have to enter:
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/contacts/contacts.htm

I conclude, that you have like 50 main state offices, and the other 1950 offices are the local dmv offices:
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/fo/offices/toc_fo.htm

And this is the contact information for one entry (subdomain):
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/fo/offices/appl/fo_data_read.jsp?foNumb=582

Actually, it would be all within one single dot .tel domain, I guess, which gives me this scheme:

1.) Main domain: http://dmv.tel

2.) Subdomain for California: http://ca.dmv.tel

3.) Sub-subdomain for the local office: "Bakersfield DMV Office":

http://bakersfield.ca.dmv.tel

Well, that is it! And it looks like it does only take about two minutes for one entry! Ha!...

Gotscha scheme!...

So this will be the one domain: dmv.tel, with 2000 subdomains. 50 state offices, and 1950 local offices.

Simple,if you see through it...

Never lost, and never out of pocket, with Geneva-Budget.tel !

Saving your hard earned money matters to us.
Enabling you a affordable and longer stay in a luxury town.

While the budget-minded traveler may emit a squeal of fear when first encountering a menu in Geneva, it is possible to find affordable options when dining out in the city: Geneva-Budget.tel is your friend.

First thing’s first: those eating on a budget are advised to avoid the restaurants around the lake. Here, you’ll find some of the most lavish dining scenes in the world, with the prices matching the food in terms of sheer extravagance.

The suburb of Carouge is a far better bet for travelers looking to indulge in a night of haute cuisine without breaking the bank. Trendy yet classy, the area is a favorite with amorous couples and students alike. Nonetheless, you’d be advised to check prices before entering any joint as some places here still push the wrong side of excessive.

For cheaper options, try the university area of Plainpalais for, where there are students, there’s always cheap food and drink... The earthy area of Paquis (near the train station) is also worth exploring for its host of cheap Arabic, Asian and South American eateries.

Lunchtime bites can be picked up in the boutique cafes of the Old Town. With their Parisian ambience and traditional menus featuring 'fondue' and 'rostis' (fried onion and potato patties), a few hours passed in their midst is almost inevitably time well spent.

Deciding on where to stay in Geneva just got that bit easier! For a selection of the best hostels and budget accommodation in Geneva, see geneva-budget.tel.

Doncha messa witha my .tel !!!!: Yahoo filed for arbitration on yahoo.tel. (click here, for article)




Yahoo Fights for Yahoo.tel
Friday, August 28th, 2009

Yahoo is first major tech company to try to get .tel domain name through domain arbitration.

Yahoo.telYahoo has filed for arbitration with National Arbitration Forum to get the domain name Yahoo.tel. Yahoo is the first major tech company to try to get its hands on a .tel domain name through arbitration. Many other tech companies, including Google, registered their .tel domain names during the so-called “sunrise period” for about $300. Arbitration will cost the company about $1,500 plus legal fees.

.Tel is a different kind of domain name designed as a business card on the web. Information is stored in the DNS, and .tel domains cannot be developed into standard web sites.

Yahoo.tel is registered to a man in Spain and includes links to his blog and an association he is president of.

Comments:

The .Tel domain is starting to gain momentum: (just last week watched the AsianNews video on .tel domains and how it would overtake yellow pages)

So now that the .tel domain is becoming more useful and popular companies are taking notice and wanting those domains. Yahoo doesnt need an pr they just missed the boat on .tel. they were effectively asleep at the wheel.

Looks like dialing your name will soon be a force to deal with, telnames and telfriends will soon be in our vocabulary.

----

Well best publicity is for .tel “look Joe, even Yahoo wants .tel !”

-------

Could the respondent/panel raise the question as to why Yahoo! failed to apply for this domain during the sunrise process?

New Functions For Your .Tel Domain Administration





1.) Private contact information:

You now have the possibility to mark your private data within your subdomins as private.
Up and till now, one was only able to do this on the interface of the main .tel domain.

You are now able to structure a .tel domain for your whole familiy.

To see a example, go to: http://www.allmich.tel/

The advantage of this is, that one can define for a each member of the family his own
subdomain:

Every family member will therefor have his private data in one of these subdomains:

Usually, there are personal mobile phone numbers, email addresses and chat contact information, that one does not necessarily want to show to the public.

However, with this new system, one is able to structure private contact information in a new way, and more clearly arranged, respectively, more clearly laid out.



2.) A better way to manage your data:

For managing your data on the web interface, there are a few new useful extensions:

For example, you can copy or move data from one folder in a othe folder, more easily.

To do this, you simply select your data via the check-box.

Then you select a function via the selection "actions".

When you copy or move the data, you will receive a list of the domains, from which your are able to choose/select from.

Furthermore, you are able to write new contact information direct in the existing profiles.

You can switch to this option within the specific dialog.



3.) Keywords administraton: More keyword space:

You are now able to add keywords up to 2000 charactes within one window.

(You won't have to split/devide the text anymore, into various windows, and the text won't get mixed up anymore...)



4.) Locaton data:

If you go with your mouse or cursor over your location listing, the coordinates of your
location will be displayed in a small pop up box.



Conclusion:

I bet a lot of telsters have been waiting for these changements and extension to come:
Privat useres now have better options, to use the .tel domain.

Articles:

Release v74 of the Community TelHosting software will be deployed to the live environment on Wednesday 19th August 2009 at 06:00 UTC.

This release sees the introduction of privacy at all domain levels (i.e., whereas it was only possible to have private data in example.tel it will now be possible to add to sublevel.example.tel, sub.sublevel.example.tel etc. - full details are available within the updated user guide) as well as the additional improvements listed below:

- Free text keyword maximum length increased from 255 to 2,000 characters

- Optimized CTH processing for large domains such that the text header loads in a timely fashion

- Optimization of the storeRecord SOAP command to avoid slow down with larger domains

- Move to / Copy to dialogs - Additional logic added to initially only show folders from the current domain. This increases performance for large portfolios

- Full front end support for “global” profiles

- Minor multi-lingual inconsistencies corrected

- Support for carriage returns within Keywords

- Disable phone number validation checking added to the SMS contact type

- Removal of front end warning when user’s browser language is not supported



Thank you, for your kind attention.

.TEL Billboards at EasyPark Parkades Mark Launch of the One Vancouver Initiative





The billboards are just one of several awareness raising initiatives that will be seen and heard locally over the next six months. “Our goal is to create 25,000 active .TEL users in Greater Vancouver by the end of the year and for Vancouver to be known as the city with the best connected people” explains Webnames.ca President Stephen Smith.

“.TEL makes it easier to connect with people, to instantly access complete and up-to-date contact information and to ultimately form lasting relationships. We believe that improved communication is a critical factor in everything from business success to personal relationships and that .TEL will play an important role in tourism, education, business and local economic development.”

You don’t need your own .TEL name to start enjoying the benefits. Any .TEL can be viewed through a browser. Those who have a smartphone are even more fortunate as they can appreciate the true power of .TEL by downloading “Hornet” the free address book developed by Webnames.ca for the Blackberry®. There is also an application for the iPhone at the iPhone App Store.

“We’re very grateful to Pictoform and to EasyPark for helping to spread the word about .TEL” says Smith. “Our hope is that rather than exchanging paper business cards, asking someone ‘What’s your .TEL?’ will soon become a common question in Vancouver.”

..., dann ist wohl der Erfolg der .Tel-Domain nicht mehr aufzuhalten...


Nun bin ich doch etwas erleichtert, zu sehen, wie es vorangeht, mit der .Tel-Domain.

Denn ich weiss, dass ich bei einer .Tel-Domain bald ein schönes Logo in den Header einbinden kann, und wo es sonstwo Platz hat, auch Text-Werbung.

Des Weiteren, kann ich dieselbe .Tel-Seite in die dazugehörige Webseite einbinden.

Und ich denke, erst von da an, wo die .Tel-Domain auch etwas appetiticher, trendiger und zeitgemässer aussehen wird, ist sie dann auch quasi "salonfähig", für ein grosses Handy-Display.

Das Tempo, scheint Telnic zu bestimmen, denn die Benutzer greifen ja alles Neue eifrig und lernwillig auf, um es gleich umzusetzen, vorausgesetzt, das auch das System von Telnic schon bereit ist (was offenbar in zwei Fällen nicht zutraf).

Es ist ja anzunehmen, dass auch Telnic aus Fehlern aus der Vergangenheit lernt, zu Gunsten eines besseren Service für die .Tel-Gemeinschaft.

Denn schliesslich werden viele .Tel-Domains im geschäftlichen Verkehr benutzt, und es ist der Wunsch vieler Domaininhaber, auch damit gutes Geld zu verdienen.

Wenn der Mix von Technik und gutem Design beim Mainstream ankommt, ja dann...., dann ist wohl der Erfolg der .Tel-Domain nicht mehr aufzuhalten...

Viele Grüsse

How to .Tel the Difference


Quote Ms Domainer_
"From what I understand, the way the NAPTR records are configured will make it easier for .tel sites to rank high in their prospective keywords. Don’t ask me how–I’m not at all techie."

Are .tel they worth enough to resell?




Quote:
"Unless you have super premium keywords.
.TEL is too new to judge, but more than likely only super premiums will have any value."

Other quote:
"On the .tel side, the domain is new and there haven't been many sales to put a resell price on it yet. There have been some supposed sales; however, the buyers did not come through with payment.

All in all it's a gamble either way.
"

.tel applications vs. Linux-based systems / Telnic's Roadmap .


Quote from Nadya from Telnic:

Telnic's nearest development plans include applications for Symbian and Android, see the roadmap, http://telnic.org/community-roadmap.html

We do encourage our community to share their ideas and help with development. User-driven initiatives often result in exceptional software solutions. Because the .tel platform is open with masses of free code and samples available, developers can easily start creating their own .tel solutions. In fact, Kiax softphone is the first cross-platform open-source VOIP phone that dials .tels.

If you have developer skills and wish to contribute, or if you'd like to express your interest in development as a non-technical person, you are most welcome to our developer community, http://dev.telnic.org. Use the forum or the Wiki to publish your ideas and generate more interest.

.tel domain Tips (click here)


Hints & Tips

* Tip #1: Get your .tel quickly picked up by search engines To get your .tel domain picked up by search engines, you can submit it on official websites, such as:

o Google http://www.google.com/addurl.html

o Microsoft Live Search ( Now Bing ) http://search.msn.com/docs/submit.aspx

o Yahoo! http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html

Indexation will take time (up to 8 weeks sometimes) depending on the search engine and other external factors, but it’s expected to help search engines pick up your .tel quicker

Is There A .Tel In Your Future?


According to Wikipedia, “.tel is a top-level domain approved by ICANN as a sponsored TLD and operated by Telnic. Telnic announced in May 2009 that 200,000 .tel domains had been registered since General Availability on March 24th 2009.” It looks like they want to be a global business directory for all your points of contact, email, website, cell phone, land line, fax, any way that can be contacted.

What’s your take, is this something you’d use for your business?

I have over 100 premium .tel’s and although I don’t call myself a domainer, I can see huge potential in this domain for communications. Quite simply, with the adoption of mobile internet becoming mainstream now, .tel serves to replace long boring and forgetful numbers, with words (just like .com did for long ip numbers). For business especially, .tel will be a great and memorable way for customers to remember numbers- you simply type in the domain ending in .tel and then click on a number to initiate a call. Can also be updated by the owner of the .tel if they relocate etc. Did I mention it also stores all your other points of contact like twitter, facebook etc… .tel will have a bright future I think."


From a other article and interview:
Kash Madhavi, the chief executive of Telnic: Quote:
"You can say, ‘Here are my Facebook details, here is my mobile number, and people will always be able to find you.” In the near future these will become more valuable when the need for mobile content increases further and a stripped-down web pages made available through mobile phones such as Blackberry, Apple iPhone etc."

So: What is the latest about Dot-Tel?: Pros and Cons.


So: What is the latest about Dot-Tel?:

Pros:

1.) 3000 Subdomains within each .tel domain.

2.) You will be able to integrate your .tel into your website.

3.) You will be able to advertise within your .tel.

4.) The .tel control panel is being translated into 10 languages.

5.) You will be able optionally replace the domain name with a custom heading. This requires some coding of both the backend and the front-end, but it's definitely on the roadmap of Telnic.


So: What are the cons and "putoffs"?:

1.) The developer instructions are do not always correspond with the availability of the telnic system.

2.) Instruction papers are not complete. Some instructions missing, or hard to follow.

In other words: It looks like that Telnic announces the new features, before their system is actually ready and prepared. Also: Documention / Developer Handbook, could probably be a bit better made. Easyer to follow and understand.


So: How work around the problems?:

1.) Find other solutions, and translate instructions in german, for example.

Recommendation: Be patient, and take breaks at tea time...

Werbung in tel-Domains - Kurzbeschreibung für Entwickler / Advertisements within .tel


Werbung in tel-Domains - Kurzbeschreibung für Entwickler

Nachdem Telnic vor einigen Tagen die Möglichkeit von Werbeschaltungen in .tel-Domains angekündigt hat, findet man nun im Developer-Bereich bei Telnic ein Dokument, welches die Technik näher beschreibt.

Bisher scheint es jedoch keine Anpassung des Webinterface von einem Provider gegeben zu haben. Das bedeutet, dass man als Enduser im Moment noch nicht in der Lage ist, eine solche Werbung anzulegen.


Eigentlich müsste die Option im Bereich der “Keywords” zu finden sein. Hier würde ich eigentlich einen neuen Typ “Adverts” bzw. “Werbung” erwarten. Die Angaben, die man machen müsste, wären eigentlich sehr einfach. Die Beschreibung einer Werbung gliedert sich in folgende Bestandteile:

* Ort der Anzeige (oben, rechts, unten)
* Sortierreihenfolge
* Titel (max. 255 Zeichen für den Titel der Werbung)
* Label (wird als Linktext für die Verlinkung benötigt und als letzte Zeile in der Werbung angezeigt)
* Link (Link der zur eigentlichen Internetseite des beworbenen Produkts führt)
* Textinhalt


Mit diesen Infos, die technisch als TXT-Record abgelegt werden, wird eine Werbung beschrieben. Also eigentlich kein Hexenwerk. Allerdings bin ich mir im Moment noch nicht sicher, ob Telnic bereits die letzten Umsetzungen vorgenommen hat, damit diese Informationen auch auf der .tel-Domain Seite ausgegeben werden. Vielleicht kommt diese Anpassung dann mit der Anpassung des Webinterface.

var $debug = false;
var
$lang = ''; // you can set it to "de" / "en" when you like a static language. Else the system will choose the browser language. If you make new translations, please mail it to henning@movetec.ch thanks (look at line 40 and place files in the lang directory)

If you ask why we do not have used the DNA variant:
http://de.php.net/manual/de/function.dns-get-record.php
http://pear.php.net/package/Net_DNS
Those both do not understand the LOC Record and have problems with the TXT records (only show the header text)



Show the content of your .Tel Site on your Website by using JavaScript.

DEMO

For this you only need to embed the following code into your page:


For this simply replace jepaa.tel with your Domain.

This software determines over the browser language what language will be displayed. You can force it whith &lang=en.
At the moment only German and English are available, but you can translate it yourself by usign this template:
www.jepaa.com/contact_lang/en.phps
We would be pleased if you could also send us a copy to henning@movetec.ch

If you dont like the layout, you can change it with this: &noCss=1 stop loading the CSS file and build your own by using this template
www.jepaa.com/css/proxy_source.css

The results of this system are always up to 7 days out of date because of performance reasons it is cached. If you need current, please use the tool from the top.
