In an effort to retain thousands of .tel domains that expired or will expire during the remainder of the week, TelNic – the Registry known for the biggest and most inventive TLD ever to leave the ICANN uterus – considers offering free renewals.
We met the TelNic boys at their local pub, where they usually gather for brainstorming.
“It was a non-brainer, really, after our successful launch of Ben.tel”, said Bryan McTelbot, chief propaganda officer for TelNic. “How would we retain the momentum of registrations since a year ago when .tel became available? By giving it away for free, of course!”, he added while on his 4th pint of Guinness.
Often seen as a revolutionary addition to the group of other healthy or not so healthy TLDs, .tel bears the unique characteristic of a DNS layer that cannot be modified in order for the .tel domains to be parked or developed.
One can only store information meant to be displayed on smartphones, in order to effectively give sassy blonde chicks your phone number and get them in bed.
“Oh fock it mate, this is whot it takes, this is whot it will be!”, said Timmy – last name unknown – promotional manager for TelNic. “We’re focking tired with this ball-busting rage against .tel you know mate? So bollocks to it all, .tel is here to stay!”, he added, stumbling on his way to the bathroom.
I’m not renewing any, got a hole this big in my pocket….
I don’t blame you, Sammy 😀
