Updates about Telnic, the .Tel registry

Aled Williams has become Customer Service Manager, at Telnic.org, from 01. May 2010.
For that occasion, he has improved the look of his online business card, and removed the ugly photograph: http://aled.tel. In the past time, Aled Williams had been one of the Telnic community forum moderators. And only in the recent past, had rigorously been deleting forum posts, as well as limiting freedom of speech, and censuring forum posts, which expressed themself critical towards the Telnic management. He had also enabled a poll against a forum member, to eventually permanentely bann him, but which had been deleted/removed by Aled's overhead, at that time, due to been affraid of serious damage of the Telnic reputation. The athmosphere within the forum has got worse, and fear of beeing banned, censured, or having posts deleted, has significally reduced the number of forum visitors and contributors.

Justin Hayward, the Telnic communications director, who has made a few unsuccessful attempts to educate the potential users about .Tel, has been blogging for quite a while:
His blog at http://my-blogs.justin.tel/ : http://retrospectivefutureologist.blogspot.com/,
gives some interesting information, about the „inlife“ of the Telnic registry.
Blog quotes from Juli/August 2008:
"I'm now working as a Communications Director for a company that, at its heart, is all about connecting people using technology in an innovative way. Much of my professional life has been about connecting people together. I've been chatting to bloggers and commentators behind the scenes. We've been signing up registrars like there's no tomorrow. We've been busy writing marketing materials for IP lawyers and brand protection specialists. We're not doing badly on unique visitors to the website either - www.telnic.org - given the fact that we're not in consumer awareness and education as yet. It's still hard to get people to understand that the .tel bypasses the need for designing websites. I think I'm in the right place. I think we're at the right time. I'm thinking this could be a very interesting tool (I hesitate to say technology because they have hidden the complexity of it so it becomes a service - again, cool). I'm hoping that I can do it justice and that the early adopter community will embrace it."
