On Cheap Dot Tel Alternative

Elliot is claiming that .info can be cheap alternative of .Tel, because .info is selling $0.99 and .tel is selling more than $10. and he gave a site : http://www.elliotsilver.info/ as a demo.

But I do not agree with him. because there are some fundamental differences between .tel and other extensions.
.tel stores data on DNS, not like others which stores data in a web server. I looked his demo site on my Blackberry, yes, it looks no big difference with .tel. but it is slow, because .tel is suit for mobile devices , but other extension not. Most important is that, you need a web server (host) for your .info, you need at least minimum knowledge of web site and programming, although it is easy for Elliot to set up a simple web server/page, but is still a “Rocket Science ” for may many normal people. With .tel, it is a much much easier task, I think my grandma can set .tel up. I have not got a chance let her try to setup one of my .tel domains, I will and will let you know the result.
