Telnic's endeavours within the directory industry

Telnic's endeavours within the directory industry


First of all:
The Dot Tel domain was not really made for directories in the first place, respectively, for .Tel to be mainly a directory, as its main purpose.

However, the biggest fans of .Tel, and the most active .Tel community members, all had created one or more directories, and which some of them, are quite impressing.
So, the .Tel directory got more popularity amongst the fans of .Tel, than the .Tel registry (Telnic) had ever dreamt of.

Soon after the first .Tel directoies had been created, a few of them allready reached the limit of 1000 subfolders, so that the limitation was expanded to 3000 subfolders.
But they sufferd due to poor looks and design, at first, but which had been improoven in the meantime. Probably still lacking some more design features, but then again, these had been already announced in the .tel Roadmap. This sounds promissing, and so, as long as there are constant improvements going on, the .tel directories will get more and more interesting, and better to navigate.

Another very important thing, from which the .tel directories will surely benefit from, is the fact, that the new markting director previously worked for „yell.com“, and brings quasi the best experience and knowledge about online directories.

So, what we see here, is very strong support for the development of Dot Tel directories, strenghtening and supporting it, for the long term future.

Not only is the new marketing director present, but he is also very active, attending all sorts of congresses and events around the directory publishing business, to make .Tel directories to become better directories.

The focus here, is is clearly, on designing and managing online (mobile phone) directories, and where advertising plays a very important role.

In this respect, the .Tel holder/owner, is also a advertiser, respectively, a online advertiser, generating more business, through advertising.

It is clear, that this advertiser needs all sorts of help from the .Tel registry, as well as tools that help online advertising.

An interesting question is:
What can you learn from attending an EADP Congress (European Association of Directory Publishers)?:
Lets take a closer look:
Firstly, mind you: All these talks around directories, are strongly focused on the „yellow pages system“, which in contrast to .Tel, bring earnings to the provider of the yellow pages directory.
With .Tel, it is a whole different story, as there is not just one owner or provider, but thousands of individual directory owners, hoping to get some tidy revenue, sooner or later...

Call it: Digital revenues for .Tel holders.

Be aware, that you, as a .tel directory developer/creator and owner/holder, is working within newer categories, such as reputation management, SEO, social and mobile.

Nota Bene:
Digital trends highlighted in the forecast include:
· U.S. – Digital revenues in the United States will grow at a 17.2 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) as the result of publishers selling a wider array of digital products. BIA/Kelsey expects strong growth from some of the more established digital offerings, including Web sites, SEM and video. Growth will be even more robust in newer categories such as reputation management, SEO, social and mobile.
· Europe – Digital revenues will surpass print revenues across Europe by 2014, and even sooner in several markets, including Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Belgium and France.

Ok: So you do understand, that with the field of online directories and digital revenus, there will be a lot happening, between now (2011) and 2014, which is about a three year time frame.

Now, if Digital revenues will even surpass print revenues, than I must not explain, that there is a lot of earning potential in any sort of online directory, including the Dot Tel domain (directory).

You probably can mostly learn, from what is going on, about online yellow pages, and go from there, making your .Tel directory look good and to be profitable.

Looking at all this future potential, it seems to be very clear, that the Dot Tel directory was completly underestimated, up and till now, by anyone, who either just heard about it, or who had also been creating such directories. I believe, it is somewhat hard, to invest time and passion in creating a directory, having no big clue, where those endeavours will eventually lead to.
It was quasi only the believe in .tel directories, to become some day, something bigger and more important, and more used by the masses.

Following all the talk about yellow pages, gives you the impression that it is a science, for its own.

Again: We are talking about the global development of the directories market, and especially about Dot Tel directories within this market. And furthermore, it is about publishers and suppliers of products and services for the publishing industry, that is going more and more online.

The word "directory" no longer covers the broad and complex range of services (including printed and vocal resources, web agency and mobile services) that companies are now offering.

If you are serious and ambitious about promoting .Tel directoies, than they will clearly become highly competitive against directoies, such as „yellow and white pages“.

The Yellow and White pages are established directories backed up by a lot of know how, experience, and last but not least, a big community of financially strong businesses, working with these directories, making their profits, and constantly educating themselfs about futur trends and the best strategies to proceed, to becoming more successful, or to outperform competitors.

You must also know, that other people within the directory business, are working day and night, because the directory business is a 200% job, if not more. At least this is my impression.
That is why Telnic and all .Tel directory owners, need to catch up and update themselfs about the present situation within the directory publishing business. And also, if Telnic wants to become a principal player withing the directory publishing business.

A Dot Tel directory gives you the opportunity to search for suppliers of goods and services, and it allows businesses, worldwide, to promote themselves to potential customers in other countries cheaply and easily. But this also applies to local online directories.

About the use of scannable barcodes in advertising (within directories):

Online Media Daily writes about the use of scannable barcodes in advertising, which when scanned by a camera phone can provide extra information on products or companies. Barcode technology provider ScanBuy claims that there were more barcode scans performed in a single month starting in July than in all of 2009. Scanning via the company's barcode system has increased 700% from the start of 2010. ScanBuy found both 1D and 2D codes are being scanned about equally, "showing people are less concerned with code format, and more interested in getting information quickly," according to the company. Linking to a Web site was by far the most common type of action encouraged by a 2D code, with 85% driving traffic to a URL. Among traditional 1D, or UPC, codes, health and beauty products were the most popular category, making up 21% of scans, followed by groceries (14.4%), books (12.6%), and kitchen items (9.2%). ScanBuy said people are also actually making purchases through mobile devices, with books and electronics showing among the highest conversion rates. (Source: Online Media Daily)

About social media on mobile phones:
Dot Tel domains enable easier access to Facebook on mobile phones: This is exactly, what Facebook wants to happen on mobile phones, so that it can keep up its dizzying growth.
By adding a Facebook link to your online contact info- or business card, you can be sure, that users will be also looking up Dot Tel domains, to find Facebook pages. The Facebook link on a .Tel, is probable one of the easiest ways to find a Facebook page. Soon .Tel and Facebook, and vis versa, will be assosiated together, and not only Google with Facebook.
About Google and advertising:
For all of Google’s success, its business has been built on search ads, with display ads which include images, video and audio getting far less attention, even though those ads appear on You Tube and the million Web sites using Google’s display ad network.
Just another thing:
The Dot Tel domain makes it so much easier to contact local merchants directly from a mobile website, because the Dot Tel contact information is right at the palm of your hand, and you do not have to search for it, within a cluttered up heavy website.
Taking this in account, advertising on .Tel's become more attractive, than advetising on big websites (from which most of them are not mobile websites).
And:
Location based Web services are no longer a hard sell, because you can offer them via a Dot Tel domain, where they can be viewed on the go. That means, that if you are somewhere with your smart phone, you can figure out, where to find the local services and products. No need to go to the next internet cafe...
Dot Tel directories, will get interesting for advertisers, including categories covering popular businesses and services such as beauty salons, driving schools, florists, hairdressers, pubs, restaurants and takeaways.
Advertising across the Facebook platform, as well, and linking Facebook to your .Tel, which has adverts, too, will sure make you be found, as a small local business.

Data on mobile phones, will be more important than voice, which is another reason, why the Dot Tel domain should not be abandoned, but payed a lot of attention and care to.
Neither are you a heavy users of mobile data, if you often use .Tel, because .Tel is light weight data on mobile pages. Often using .Tel, is economic and cost efficient.
After all, I have talked about, here, it seems to me, that online directories, is a lot about advertising, as well. Which means, that online directory owners, will be the ones, making most digital revenues on mobile phones, such as iPhones, or on other mobile devices, such as iPads.

The Dot Tel domain, is one of the latest innovations for the directory and database industry.

Telnic's China-Abenteuer: Eine Lachnummer?

Telnic's China-Abenteuer

Wie Telnic, die Registry für die Dot-Tel-Internet-Domain (.tel), in ihrem Blog verlauten liess, will sie den chinesischen Markt erobern.

Wie will sie das bewerkstelligen, wenn sie bisher nicht einmal lokale Märkte erschliessen konnte.
Jede Firma muss zuerst an lokalen Orten Prüfungen bestanden haben, und Erfolgreich gewesen sein, bevor sie International einen Erfolg anstrebt, und allenfalls verzeichnen kann.

Weder erfolgreich in London oder Paris, will Telnic gleich den chinesischen Markt erobern....
Das sind nicht gerade die besten Aussichten für einen Erfolg. Und auch angesichts der Vorgeschichte von Telnic: Bisher keine nennenswerten Vekaufserfolge.

Was soll die Träumerei? Ist der Misserfolg schon wieder vorprogrammiert? Wie oft noch, will Telnic ins Fettnäpfchen treten. Vorprogrammierte Selbstverschuldungen, und demonstriete Unfähigkeit, versprochenes zu liefern: Angefangen, beim „Integrieren einer .Tel in eine andere Webseite, bis zum fehlgeschlagenen „Einpflegen von Kundenwerbung innerhalb einer Dot-Tel-Domain“. Alles beim ersten Anlauf fehlgeschlagen. Das Kundenwerbungprojekt, wurde schon gar nicht mehr weiterverfolgt, sondern einem Drittanbieter überlassen. Schliesslich, wurde dann, aber erst viel später, „Integrieren eine .Tel in eine andere Webseite“, dann doch noch von Telnic selbst. auf einen funktionsfähigen Stand gebracht. Telnics Hauptaufmerksamkeit, betreffend eigner Programme oder Software, etc., gilt der iPhone Applikation „My.Tel“, was ja auch offenbar zu gebrauchen ist.

Im Bereich von Marketing, hat Telnic selber praktisch Nichts gemacht. Seit der Verhaftung ihres Haupt-Vizedirektors Fabien Chalandon, wurde es sehr still um Telnic. Es folgen quasi zwei Monate Schweigen. Und die Kommunity, wusste nicht, wies es denn weitergen soll, mit der .Tel.
Es purzelten weiterhin ganze Lawinen von nicht mehr erneuerten .Tel-Domains.

Nach mehr Misserfolgen, Lapsus und Faux-Pas, will nun Telnic China erobern...

Unfähig, im Kleinen eine gute Figur abzugeben, riskiert Telnic mit seinem Vorstoss nach China, dass das Telnic-China-Abenteuer zu einer der grössten Lachnummer wird, in der Geschichte des Internets.

Google Übersetzung in englisch:

How Telnic, the registry for the dot-Tel Internet domain (. Tel), had announced in her blog will she conquer the Chinese market.

How they will do that when they previously could not even open up local markets.
Every company must have first existed as to local places examinations, and have been successful, before seeking an International success, and can list at most.

Neither successful in London or Paris, Telnic will immediately conquer the Chinese market ....
They are not exactly the best prospects for success. And given the history of Telnic: So far no significant Vekaufserfolge.

What is the dream? Is the inevitable failure again? How many more, will enter Telnic put my foot. Preprogrammed own neglect, and demonstriete inability to deliver, promised: Starting with the 'Integrate a. Tel in another web site, to the failed "Entering from canvassing within a Dot-Tel-domain". All failed at the first attempt. The canvassing project, was pursued not matter at all, but left a third party. Finally, it was then, and only much later, "Integrate a. Tel in another website, but then still made by Telnic itself to a working state. Telnics main attention on his own programs or software, etc. is, the iPhone application "My.Tel", which is to be used, too obvious.

In the field of marketing, Telnic himself has done virtually nothing. Since the arrest of the principal deputy director Fabien Chalandon, it was very quiet around Telnic. It followed almost two months silence. And the Kommunity, did not know it was going to weitergen pointed to load. Tel
It tumbled further avalanches of all no longer renewed. Tel-Domains.

After more failures, lapses and Faux Pas, now wants to conquer Telnic China ...

Unable to make a good impression on a small scale, Telnic risked his foray into China, that the Telnic-China adventure is one of the biggest laughing stock in the history of the Internet.

Telnic and Dot Tel

The UK domain registry Telnic is deeply in a crisis, and within the gray area between good business practices and econmic crime.

The Telnic Management (Dot-Tel-domain) appears to have only speculated on short-term profits, and is prepared to only watch the fate of their company, without taking any appropiate action. For years, the strategy was, to do only the most minimal effort: Small input, hoping for a big output. So, almost no investment or expenditure.

Far more serious, however, was, and is the Internet domain registrar Webnames.ca:
This company is most likely eligible for a takeover of the company Telnic. It was also the company Webnames.ca, which produced the famous promotional video "Love Train". Telnic was not trying to ensure the accuracy of false laurels, and let himself virtually be decorated with "false feathers". It was always said, that the video was produced by Telnic, which simply is not true.

The Telnic knit pattern of its business does not look much different than from Raiders, and therefore falls into the same category of the gray range, close to economic crime.

In mid-June, was the deputy director Fabien Chalandon Telnic dismissed against a bail of 75,000 € from prison. Accused for fraud and breach of the existing statutory law in the gambling business.

Fabien Chalandon:
www.ciol.com/resources/UserFiles/Fabien200.jpg
Telnic Assistant Director, tricky and dubious adviser to a number of renowned companies.
Was recently for two weeks in detention, in a Parisian prison, and was released on free foot, after paying a hefty bail of 75,000 €. Mr Chalandon is still under the supervision of the court and other competent authorities. Is this how the face of a "White Collar Criminal" looks like?

The duo Fabien Chalandon / Khashayar Mahdavi, have a strong alliance: both families (Chalandon-Mahdavi) are married with each other. And both together previously owned another company, before forming the Telnic. So you see how thick the "felt" is ...

Time for Telnic (or an acquisition company) to make clean, and the first time, to seriously worry about the business and the laid-down customers.
The hull in silence, the Registry, its chronic passivity, and the withdrawal of a substantial fraction of the dot-tel community, do not seem to point to anything good.
Minimalism ends at Twitter ... before all activity ceases altogether to.
And a forceps delivery to be stillborn (Dot-Tel-domain with a retro look).

Even so, the. Tel is not dead yet, and will survive all indebted wohlmöglich crises, and live on. And ultimately serve their intended purposes: Namely a cheap and simple communication aid for the community, and for everyone. The "Volkswagen" of mobile communication.
VW had also survived the war, and was it wasn't until after the war, to become the "car for the people", as long before propagated.

Firstly comes disaster and chaos, because some people sense opportunity to make a quick profit ..., and hinder a good product to make fast progress.
The monitary system is at first destructive to a great extent, until it is good, and can perhaps serve for a good purpose.
The tactics of Telnic, are to conceal, to hide, withdraw, and when asked for a statement, to not answer, and to avoid confrontations.

The censorship is already done by Telnic Forum Moderator, who withholds information from the other forum visitors.
Telnic had always responded to issues clumsily. Not alt all professional. A company that acts so often amateurish, has a serious problem. And the recruitment of a new marketing director, who hasn't said a word, till now, probalbly won't be able to compensate for all the failures that Telnic produced up and till now.
Like all big businesse, Telnic thinks, that they are too big to fail...

Instead of beeing straight foreward, and informing the public about the state of things, the continue to just constantly patronize, controlle, deceive, ignore and censor it's community members.
The Dot-Tel retro look, and the business practices of the Telnic, remind me of the old Soviet era, and have nothing to do with contemporary design, or management.
Knowing well, Telnics pace and work atitude, I doubt, they can easily catch up the deficits, as well as with the competitors. If you will: Telnic is somehow stuck, and unteachable.

Telnic seems to have no one who has the right experience in running a company: it consists entirely of directors, of which some, mere beneficiaries are, and nothing to contribute to the company.
It is now clear to me, why so many former dot-Tel-holders refused to renew their domains.

I, for my part, should now let loose, and just watch what is going on, with the dot-tel domain, and with the .Tel registry.

Telnic Vice Chairman Fabien Chalandon indicted and jailed

02.07.2010 / leparisien.fr


Quote Fabien Chaladon: ".tel is the biggest innovation in the Internet since the launch of .com."


Fabien Chalandon, son of former Justice Minister Albin Chalandon, was indicted Thursday for violating the law on gambling and incarcerated. Technical Consultant Company Visionex, suspected of making internet terminals allowing illegal paris, man aged 57 was arrested and taken into custody late Tuesday morning in Paris at the premises of the Brigade of repression banditry (BRB).

Paid up to € 10,000 per month for a year and a half Visionex society in exchange for his advice, Fabien Chalandon is suspected of having intervened with Michèle Alliot-Marie, when the latter was Minister of the Interior, to promote the installation of Internet terminals.

During his hearing, Fabien Chalandon reportedly said "being deceived" about the use of these machines by Sigoignet Olivier, the manager of this company based in Nantes (Loire-Atlantique). He acknowledged that the terminals of actually housed illegal gambling. Machines on which players can "lose" fat.

In an interview with Le Parisien, Aujourd'hui en France, son of former Minister of Justice had held that "Olivier Sigoignet underwent grossly unfair", saying even "a conspiracy hatched by several police departments in the balance of PMU and French games (JDF).

INDICTED May 20 for "infringement on the law on games of chance," Olivier Sigoignet has since been remanded in custody.
