Just build a webpage or mobile site with all your contact info. The only difference might be you still have a chance to get a good name in .tel, something short that looks good. I'd only get a .tel if it was something short or had meaning to me, no use in regging a ton of useless, long names.

The utter scarcity of name.tel will mean it's a huge fail as a substitution for the white pages. There can be multiple chris robbins listed in the white pages for any given area. There can only be one chrisrobbins.tel for the whole world. Doesn't exactly lend itself to mass appeal except as a novelty. I understand the selling of subdomains but let's say you are a hotel in california do you list with californiahotels.tel, cheaphotels.tel, hotels.tel or all three and that's while already listing on cheaphotels.com and hotels.com and your local yellow pages and wherever alse you advertise. Not very feasible. It’s going to be real hard to monetize I believe and only the best premiums will have a chance at it.

I believe there is potential for type-in traffic to develop on premium terms (albeit not at the levels of .com), as individual users spread the word about their personal .tel domains. For instance, take JohnnySmith.tel (random example -- it might be unregistered). If Johhny Smith begins to tell his friends about his .tel, his friends (even a small portion of them) are bound to wonder what's on Cars.tel, for example, next time they're looking to buy/rent a car. The same could be said for other TLDs; however, the difference is that .tel provides a really easy process by which one can input their contact info. Sure, one could buy the same term/name (JohnnySmith) in a different TLD and put up a site, but most people don't know how to do that and the "figuring-it-out" prohibits them from ever attempting. .tel gets around this by making it simple to use your "page." Because of this, of the .tel domains that are registered, I think we'll see a much larger proportion of them are actually used (contact info entered) than registered .mobi and .me domains, which require pages to be set-up. I don't think this should be overlooked. With more of them being used and marketed people-to-people (Johnny Smith's friends using JohnnySmith.tel to get in contact with him), I think we'll see some type-in traffic develop on premium terms. .tel is definitely an example of thinking “outside of the box” when it comes to TLDs.

I have sorta setup one so far, and it is a domain name that has a content management system behind it to configure a template of information. It's nothing you couldn't do with any other domain with some tech work. I have no idea if they will catch on or not. The video is clever, but I doubt any of the short .tel's are available - my last name as a .tel is kinda long! mp/m I registered a couple of .tel’s because this is what I do.

I think it is a great idea they just might need a huge ad budget to get it off the ground. I also like their idea with their iphone and BB apps.
