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 Crisis / 2
The subject, respectively, the contents of my last comment was posted in the official Telnic forum, and Telnic consulted. The gesture was night. This morning, I see that the Tread, the two post had been deleted kurzerhanbd.
So, I think, is absolutely not the solution, if you evade, and even deletes threads, which simply ask for an opinion.
Deleted from this thread, have at least 20 forum attendees note.
You remember perhaps the Domainauktionator "SnapNames, who was involved in a fraud scandal, because of insider trading: He just joined the flight to the front, made comments, all informed, and bar compensation payments. And instead of that the company had to close because of the scandal, they could further transactions, and exists even today.
The Taktikt of Telnic is easy to conceal, to hide, withdraw, and asked for comments, and avoid confrontations.
It takes me wonder whether something can all go well, or whether such behavior and reaction, not even once be a step toward the abyss.
It was by the same thread that one poster said, that he was of the opinion that know a lot of dot-Tel prospects that occurred at Telnic some problem cases, but that well-known companies like Microsoft or Apple, etc., already had their problems, and that that just ebem occur. Nevertheless, he would be happy if the Telnic could take my speech position.
But, as I said, responding Telnic single axle with deletion of new threads, which include "sensitive" questions. In real case, so such a discussion would go to senior management so that they can take note of it. Instead, the censorship is already done by Telnic Forum Moderator, and withheld information to the other forum visitors. Well, yes: There are not many forums more visitors, in Telnic forum: Typically, 0-3 members, and about 5 or 6 guests.
Also the way in which Telnic respond to requests for comment, is not a good sign. This company has grown to be publicly purchased during the entire time since the Tel-domain, expressed behave clumsily. Everything else, as a professional. A company that is going on in each case such amateurish, has a serious problem. And can the recruitment of a new marketing director, who has neither "pip pap has said" do not change, too.
Shame for Telnic, which is to be regretted. Telnic, is a troubled company that makes most everything wrong. And not in a position to stop the sinking of their ship, as the "leak" is relatively small. The Titanic is therefore set, all because they considered unsikbar. Error. Ships are not unsinkable. And every company is highly susceptible to disasters when they do not properly respond to serious problems.
Telnic is, so to survive under the existing management, not simply.
As it would have tremendous change much, and inform the public what is going on. Nowadays, one can only survive with transparency and transactions.
Whether customers or shareholders: It informs his powers on the state of things, and do not just constantly patronized, controlled, deceived, ignored and will censor.
The Dot-Tel retro look, and the business practices of the Telnic remember, even the old Soviet era, and have nothing to do with contemporary design, or management.
I'm afraid I only Telnic the pace of the best know of the deficit and the lack, is hard to catch up and change are.
In many of her views, I showed Telnic previously unteachable what As for criticism or proposed amendments or changes. If you like: Something stuck and unteachable.

Why dottel?: Reach me, the exact me you were looking for!
If I had a nickel for every time I've missed an opportunity to get to know a good looking woman on a train because my email is hard to spell or my phone number is too long and random to remember, like the situation in this video, I'd be only slightly richer at this point in my life. In all seriousness though, there is real value in controlling your online identity and providing one easy to remember/shortened mechanism for people to interact with the data that you want them to interact with online. This is the entire premise behind the .tel top-level-domain (TLD) available to everyone via Telnic. A little background as to why this is significant for me. You see the unfortunate thing is this; I have a doppelgänger that lives in South Dakota. I'm quite positive he's not my evil twin however when it comes to sorting out our identities on the Internet things get a little confusing. The "other" Brent Kastner looks similar, likes technology, is a photographer, and loves to waterski. All similar activities that one could mistake for my activities. He also owns brentkastner.com; how that happened I'll never know. This is precisely what I like about .tel. With .tel I can assemble all of the stuff that is "mine" into one page about me along with my picture, bio, interests, and contact info. This in turn will get picked up and indexed by search engines; hopefully above his. Check and Mate other Brent Kastner; we meet again!
Some details about my experience with it:
In the span of about an hour yesterday I set up http://brentk.tel for my personal contact information and ramblings and http://brentkastner.tel for my professional contact information and business affiliations. I registered my domains with name.com and used the .tel profile management tool to add relevant information about me into each domain. Just like creating a regular domain on the Internet I did still need to wait about 24 hours before the DNS changes propagated to DNS servers in my area, but as of this morning it's all up and running fine.
The above is cool, no question about it. What really blew my hair back about this though was the seamless integration of my brentk.tel domain with google apps! In about another 30 minutes I have mail, chat, voice, docs, and calendaring (to name a few apps) for me and up to 50 people that want a@brentk.tel address... For FREE! For me, this takes the capabilities of the .tel concept to the next level of cool. Now I can confidently use a google voice phone number (that isn't my actual cell phone number) as my "global" contact me phone number. I can screen calls, emails, chats, etc all through my .tel email account hosted on google without fear of exposing myself to unwanted spam, cold calls, etc.
Now, the next time I'm on a train I can confidently give brentk.tel for my contact info. She'll be totally impressed! I think I'll order some business cards, plain white, with just brentk.tel on it. Think of this for a moment. Introductions can now be part intro, part research project :).
My wishlist for additional capabilities:
1.) I think it would be great to have a twitter widget that links with my account on my .tel page subject to the same privacy profiling that .tel does so well now. I'd like to show in real-time whats happening in my world as I update it.
2.) It would be awesome if friending features could be integrated with friending in say LinkedIn, Facebook, Ning networks, etc? I'd really appreciate an integrated friends management approach vs. having to maintain a new separate list of friends.
3.) I'd like people without .tel accounts to request to see my information. See point 2, even telfriends is a bit weak in this regard.
4.) I'd like to be able to hang a blog off of blog.brentk.tel, create html content, or do other basic website related stuff here. Envision a day when I don't need any personal site at all, just the stuff contained here.
5.) I'd like to be able to "share" articles, websites, documents, anything available on the web via ShareThis, AddThis, or other sharing platforms directly to my .tel page

How to spice up your Dot Tel domain:
Here are the available templates, from which you can select:
How to set colours for the header and background for Dot Tel domains, using the .tel control panel:
When you are at your controll panel, respectively, dashboard, you go top left and click on the card "Design", and go from there. It is self explaining...
Which brings you up this controll panel:
Select a colour space number (1, 2 or 3):
The colour customising mini panel, that will pop up, looks like this:
In the vertical colour bar, you select a basic colour, for aditional fine tuning:
Then (within the left window) you place the cross on the ring, and move the ring to the right area, that brings up the colour you wish to have. Your selected colour then shows in one of the two small windows, top right within the small controll panel. --> Save your colour choice, with the "save" button, bottom, right side.
To add a logo, you must go back to the main control panel.
However, there are two tutorials. One in french, and another one in German (which will be continued):
1.) http://www.toutpointtel.fr/index.php...mode-d-emploi/
2.)
http://www.tel-blog.de/domaingestalt...reigeschaltet/
.
.
And this is what is possible to create, within the limits...:
We are all aware of the major design shortcomings of Dot Tel Domains. I, for example, will not use anything but the single colour Retro template. However, this Dot Tel Domain organictea.tel, is an excellent example of what can be achieved. It's the best one I have seen yet. Click on the image to see it full size. I like the attention to detail, the rouge on the girls face is the same colour as part of the template. 10/10!
And the following example is shown, if you prefer the "classic" template:
