  5. Re:.tel is ok on Is It Time For .tel? · · Score: 1

    Slightly different argument, I agree that we should 100's if not 1000's of TLDs, too many conflicts worldwide to do away with TLDs at all, but since we have to deal with things as is, I disagree with .tel as a purely political and monetary grab, and there is no technical reason to have a seperate TLD just for this purpose...

  6. Re:.tel is ok on Is It Time For .tel? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why do we need yet another TLD, this is purely a political land grab, e164.org already has proven you don't need a special TLD to do this, we have a large dataset already in operation and working. Jeff Pulver has been pushing .tel since 2000 and yet he could have built up his own zone to do this with less effort and money...

Thanks to who ever posted this as the site has recieved an overwhelming response will help trying to convince companies to help sponsor/support our little project. Once we have our first AP up, there will be a testing/meeting day to be announced, so we can all get togeather and really tryout the tech in the area.
