“Web Counter” for .Tel domains
My Suggestion to Telnic.
People buy .Tel to store their contacts info online in a easy way, but some people buy .Tel to drive some traffic to their other websites (especially with those generic name key words .tel domains). The problem is : there is now way at this time to check how many people visited my dot tel domains. Is there any way, your .TEL hosting can provide some kind .tel domain “web counter”, so people can at least know how many visitors visited their .tel sites? even very simple “web counter” is OK , but if you can do statistics of “Visitors”,” from which search engine this visitor came from” ,”"from which keywords” etc. even better.

.tel (dot tel) for Real Estate Professionals
.tel (dot tel) is an ID or name to which all of your contact information can be attached. This video describes how .tel works and its benefits for real estate professionals, which include being easier to find, easier to remember, convenience for clients and opportunities for referrals.
About .tel
* What is .tel?
The .tel is a service that allows individuals and businesses alike to store and manage all their contact information and keywords directly in the DNS without the need to build, host or manage a website. For more information, see .tel for businesses and .tel for individuals.
* Why is .tel different than other Top Level Domains (TLDs)?
The value of a .tel domain lies with the ability to host personal (or corporate) contact information directly in the DNS, which can then be universally accessible. This stands in contrast to the typical use of the DNS for other TLDs, in which the DNS only provides a mapping between domain names and IP addresses.
* Can I protect my private data?
The .tel enables you to protect your private data, allowing it to be seen only by people you authorize. For more information, please see How do I protect my Private Data.
Buying .tel
* When can I buy a .tel domain?
Registering .tel domains will occur in three phases: Sunrise, Landrush and General Availability. For more information on each phase see Launch Information.
* How can I buy a .tel domain?
You can only purchase your .tel domain online through an ICANN accredited registrar. Click “Buy your .tel” in the navigation to see the list of all participating registrars.
* Can I buy a .tel domain in advance?
You cannot buy .tel domain names before December 3rd, if you are a trademark owner, or before February 3rd if you are not a trademark owner. Registrars may offer advance booking of .tel domains.
* How much will a .tel domain name cost?
Prices for a .tel domain name will vary from registrar to registrar, but should remain comparable with the prices for other popular domain names.
* For what term can I buy a .tel domain?
Typically, registrars will allow you to register domain names for up to 10 years.
* How will trademarks be protected?
A preferential registration period called Sunrise allows trademark owners to protect their intellectual property.
* What are the restrictions on a .tel domain?
The minimum number of characters in a .tel domain is 3 and the maximum number is 63 not including the .tel suffix. Every domain must contain at least one letter from a-z or “A to Z” in standard US ASCII script. No domain can begin or end with a hyphen nor can a domain have a hyphen in the 3rd and 4th position. A .tel domain may not consist purely of digits. The .tel naming conventions are described in detail in the Acceptable Use Policy. The reserved list is also available for review.
* Can I transfer or sell a .tel domain name?
You can sell or transfer a .tel domain just as you would with other domain names.
* How do I resolve a dispute regarding a .tel domain name?
.tel domain names are subject to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), which establishes a procedure for resolving many trademark disputes relating to domain names. More information on the (UDRP) is available.
The .tel Community
* Who is ICANN and what is their role?
ICANN, the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers, is the international organization responsible for the oversight of the coordination of the Domain Name System and Top Level Domains (.com, .net, .org, .biz, etc.). More information is available at ICANN.org.
* What is the role of the .tel Sponsoring Organization?

How to make money with dot tel domain names (monetizing .tel) ?
I think there are many possibilities and ways to make money with dotted domain names:
Assuming that .Tel is doing well in search engine, many .Tel domains can get lots traffic, and if .Tel become very popular, many keywords domain may doing well, because many people may just type the domain when they want some contact, say, if they want buy pizza, people may just type www.pizza.com without do a search in search engine.
1. Build a directory : for example, say pizza.tel, you can list all pizza chain stores in some area with contact info, this may drive lots traffic to the listed pizza stores, and you charge a listing fee, same thing as hotel.tel etc
2. If you have a good domain and have lots traffic, maybe some business will buy of your domain
3. Provide some services with premium rate phone number
4. Who knows, maybe some day ,google may provide Adsense on .tel
5. what else ?

Twitter function for .TEL, one suggestion to Telnic
(I sent the following suggestion to Telnic)
Dear Telnic,
I am a .tel domain lover, I have registered 15 .Tel domain names.
I have a suggestion to Telnic, with dot.tel domain, you can present your friends/family or customers all your contact information like phone number, email etc. You friends just need to remember your .TEL domain and get all contact info there.
Besides your contact info, your friends are also interested in “What are you doing recently”, that’s why twitter.com is becoming popular now.
My suggestion is: why not have a text box on .Tel hosting, from there .tel domain owner can write very simple update there on “what I am doing recently” (several sentences)(like twitter) , so friend can also know what I am doing recently from my .tel?
I also have some other suggestions on .Tel, later I will email you.
Because I am firmly believe .tel will be a great success in near future, Yesterday, I setup my website: http://www.dottelforum.net/
By the way, I love the video on your front page, this video Ads is amazing.
Best Regards.

Let’s Tel…
Some say that it is the biggest innovation in the domain name segment since the initial dot com release, since the new DOT Tel is available for public to register, thousands of people and companies are rushing to register their .TEL for individual and business , even big giant like Google, Cisco also register their TELs.
It seems there is a potential opportunity of great success for .TEL. In terms of a easy way of communication, Dot-tel is innovative and simple, you do not need to get a web host , you do not need to build and maintain a website, because .TEL is using DSN to store all data which is simple and fast, even though almost all web hosts providing various ways which let people to build a site much easier and faster than before, but it is still need lots of efforts and knowledge to build a website, but with Dot-tel, It is so simple, I think there should be no problem even for my grandma to set her .TEL site.
For a businessman, it is always a problem to maintain all those contact info of all customers. Same as for individuals to maintain the contacts of family, friends: home phone, work phone, cell phone, FAX, email etc, and those info are keep changing, now with DOT TEL, just need to maintain a simple domain name, You just need to give yourname.tel, all info are there, and you can update it in minutes on the fly.., I think maybe in the very near future, no one will ask what is your phone number, what is your email, just ask what is your TEL. So let’s tel now.

9. Generate Advertising and Sales Revenue under Generic
Domain Names
A business could also use the .tel for services that are based on generic
names: hotels.tel, plumber.tel, insurance.tel, locksmith.tel, etc. Each .tel
domain could easily have multiple sub-domains for navigation to local
providers or specialists.
10. Drive Traffic to E-commerce Storefronts
A business could use the .tel to offer storefront services and collect
micro-payments for downloads, products or services. For example: a celebrity
fan club site can provide news, chats, or downloadable mobile content such
as MP3s or ring tones.

What is dot tel domain name:
.tel is a top-level domain (TLD) approved by ICANN as a sponsored TLD and operated by Telnic.
Its advertised purpose is as a single management and publishing point for “internet communication” services, providing a global contacts directory service by housing all types of contact information directly in the Domain Name System(DNS).
Administration of domains
The Telnic .tel domains were not open to customers to use until March 6 2009. At present, information in the .tel cannot be controlled by the owner except through a proprietary website control panel that Telnic has created for Registrars to provide to their customers. This control panel is open source, and can be changed or completely replaced by Registrars if they so wish, as all the APIs required to manage .tel information in the DNS were released by Telnic in October 2008.
When viewed over the Web, all .tel domains point directly to a Telnic proxy webpage that is populated ‘on the fly’ presenting the respective domain name owner’s contact data stored within the DNS system (currently hosted by Telnic but which will be opened to Registrars and end customers in 2009). .tel domains can also be accessed without opening a browser on many devices through open source applications.
Technical Overview
In contrast to other top-level domains the .tel information is held directly within the Domain Name System (DNS), within the actual domain name record, as opposed to the DNS simply returning details (such as IP addresses) of the machines on which information can be found.
At present the .tel TLD is only in the first stage of its launch, therefore information regarding possible exploitation or abuse by spammers and malware is not yet available due to the lack of verifiable data. But as Telnic has enabled the DNS records to be encrypted using 1024-bit encryption and stored in sub-folders which are hidden until paired with a public private key handshake with individuals, there is some protection from spammers.
For the same reason, the full extent of the effect the extra data will have on the DNS system is unknown.
Reliability Of Data
The fact that this TLD is being released only to trademark holders until February 3, 2009, may suggest that the resulting database of contact information can somehow be trusted as the “official” contact information of the “rightful owner” of those trademarks.
However, after the short period of legitimate registrations restricted to trademark holders only (the “Sunrise” period), anyone willing to pay a premium price will be allowed to buy any domain name (the “Landrush” period) regardless of who owns the trademark.
Furthermore, during “General Availability”anyone will be able to register any name (assuming that it is available for registration) without paying the premium price.
In actual practice, .tel domain names will be no different than most domains except for price (most domain names cost around $10.00 per year) and proprietary control, except for the fact that .tel owners will not be charged for ongoing hosting fees and will not need to build or maintain a website in order to be discoverable on the Web under their own domain name.
The information held under the .tel domain will be no more accurate or trustworthy than any other data held in the DNS system. It will be down to individual .tel owners to choose what they wish to store there.
