Are .TEL domains any good?

They are good... good for nothing.

My mistake, Yahoo has filed a complaint against Spanish blogger David Blanco Ramos for the bad faith registration of the Yahoo.tel domain name.

Although Google, myspace, facebook, Cisco, Microsoft, Forbes & Bloomberg have .tel. You can check the Bloomberg video @ http://www.telnic.org/tel-bloomberg.html

Btw, the Rothschild family also have a .tel

OK, I watched the video and visited 4 more internet giants. In summary ...

yahoo.tel - contact info for a guy in Spain
google.tel - text link to google.com
microsoft.tel - "Address Not Found"
cisco.tel - name, address, phone numbers and text link to cisco.com
oracle.tel - text link to melbourneitdbs.com

Only 1 of 5, cisco, offered useful contact info. Fringe products like dot tel need to give users a great first experience to light a fire of free viral marketing. No sign of that here, good luck.
