In this video I discuss the reasons why I think .tel domains could be a good investment. While .tel may never be successful in the Domaining world, I have reason to believe this will be a success in the business world.
.tel is the first time I have seen Domainers close their mind to a new idea so quickly. I think the reason for this is simple – .tel is not a TLD for Domainers. We are oftentimes afraid of what we do not know, or what we do not understand. Look at Alexander Graham Bell – when he first invented the telephone many people were terrified of the new device. It is easy to be afraid of what we do not understand, but closing your mind might only cause you miss-out on an incredible opportunity.
I share some great quotes from a recent post by Kevin Jackson of eBusinessDomains.com.
Along with my own thoughts on .tel I have included an on-screen demo of how to configure your .tel domain as well as an example of a strong application for .tel – cancel.tel.
Morgan, thanks for the mention. I am really pleased that you found my blog post of interest and worth quoting to your growing audience.
You have published a brilliant video here, and it has even opened my eyes even wider.
Thanks to the video and your realistic insights, I am now a believer in the .Tel extension, and I share your belief that .Tel will succeed.
I just tried accessing my .Tel domain via my iPhone, and within seconds I could scroll down and ring the number on the page.
With so many people increasingly accessing the internet on the go, it will be necessary for businesses to make their contact details easily accessible to mobile devices, without the need to endlessly scroll websites trying to find contact details.
The .Tel extension is the perfect answer to that. However, the .Tel registry will need to do a lot more promotions for people and businesses to fully understand the power of the .Tel extension.
This is the future. Forget about .mobi. .Tel is here to stay and will reap success.
Keep up the good work Morgan!
