I'm pretty sure Alec began the recording - not sure when he stopped it.
|
|
ALEC, can you call me later today? Thanks
|
|
Alec... was that call recorded?
|
|
|
thanks Alec and all
|
|
put the address up, pls?
|
|
|
what are your projected earnings?
|
|
that was vip at telnic?
|
|
|
(as everyone on the call goes to send that email...)
|
|
|
Can we join a beta test? :-)
|
|
|
ACL is based on what, IP, FQDN, PW
|
|
|
public/private keys
|
|
|
if it's on the screen, I can harvest it
|
|
|
Guess price as usual will depend on demand and wholesale price
|
|
|
I can imagine that some of the registrars will charge a LOT for these domains initially.
|
|
|
auto expire - for one night stand acess
|
|
|
But what is to prevent a squatter from registering "danyork.tel" and then saying that I can have it for $XXXX? (Nothing that I can hear)
|
|
|
Where do all those ACLs live?
|
|
|
I am guessing that the domain name connection does in provide distribution and a business model for the app.. and a level of ownership that exceeds the company itself.
|
|
|
Right... anyone else could create such a service that queried the DNS tree and run it as "findmeonline.com". The advantage these folks have is that they can brand ".tel".
|
|
|
Excellent question Phil - and one we all need answered
|
|
|
How do you envision users to manage faceted identity, so my wife sees one set of contact vectors, while my girlfriend sees another?
|
|
|
sounds good, but I have my doubts that any domain I would want will be taken by a bulk script ran at 12:01 am from the Caribean
|
|
|
What they've done is make it easy for non-geeks
|
|
|
one would hope Todd
|
|
|
Is the EULA going to forbid bulk registration or resale, again to help with squatters
|
|
|
the ultimate landrush Dan LOL
|
|
|
So if I'm an IPR lawyer, I'm going to gear up to get ready for fighting all of this... ;-) (Hmmm... maybe I should change careers...)
|
|
(I'm looking at justin.tel)
|
|
|
What's to prevent spammers from harvesting email addresses?
|
|
|
Lawyers make big bucks litigating over cybersquatting.
|
|
|
what are you doing about squatters?
|
|
|
To go along with that, how will you prevent the slimeball domain name squatters from registering all sorts of names and then putting them up for auction, etc?
|
|
So are registrars responsible for authentication?.......or what type of authentication is employed?
|
|
|
You are acting as the 'root' for all our contact info/media
|
|
|
Mark - this sounds like your Internet presence management concept
|
|
|
You can imagine the land rush that will happen when this goes live. (Which, I am sure, is exactly what Telnic is looking forward to!)
|
|
|
and the registered not registrar owns the sub domains?
|
|
|
Q: is there any plan to protect some personal info.. such as sending an email without exposing addresses to spammers/bots?
|
|
|
How does this compare to a Plaxo type of service? You may be answering part of this currently.
|
|
How structured does the data need to be? Can it display embedded content? Current twitter? Does it have an API for updates?
|
|
|
Q. Any room for pseudonymity? Call the unauthenticated masked man...?
|
|
|
Can I have sub domains under .tel i.e register a family name or business name and sub manage below first.last or employee.company?
|
|
|
thanks Alec - he's been talking in present tense
|
|
|
Add .tel to the baby registries.
|
|
What is your vison of how this new capability expands going forward? How would you like ot be leveraged or leverage others?
|
|
that's Mark Hewitt talking, not tom orr
|
|
|
not yet Tom. we'll talk about roll out in a minute
|
|
|
Godaddy doesn't have a .tel domain choice in their drop down
|
|
|
that's tom orr I tink
|
|
|
Who is speaking now?
|
|
|
I warned you in advance that I was passionate on this topic! :-)
|
|
|
when dan stops monopolizing the line i'll get some of the wall questions answered
|
|
|
"Prices for a .tel domain name will vary from registrar to registrar, but should remain comparable with the prices for other popular domain names."
|
|
|
what's the cost of registering a .tel domain?
|
|
|
you have to use your interface to access the DNS records?
|
|
|
Q. what happens to our ability to maintain the enhanced dns should you close your doors?
|
|
|
ah, so the service is 'included' with the domain name
|
|
|
Q. Does each contact vector have its own URI?
|
|
|
Q. How do subdomains work in .tel?
|
|
|
but that's if you KNOW how to
|
|
|
Q. What sort of authentication do you perform?
|
|
|
Is there a beta, I really want to get my name this time (urks me that someone else has it on .com)
|
|
Is this using the XRI spec?
|
|
These services have been around for years; what's the difference with using a TLD
|
|
|
About .tel (from the FAQ)<br/><br/> * What is .tel?<br/><br/> The .tel is a service that allows individuals and businesses alike to store and manage all their contact information and keywords directly in the DNS without the need to build, host or manage a website. For more information, see .tel for businesses and .tel for individuals.<br/><br/> * Why is .tel different than other Top Level Domains (TLDs)?<br/><br/> The value of a .tel domain lies with the ability to host personal (or corporate) contact information directly in the DNS, which can then be universally accessible. This stands in contrast to the typical use of the DNS for other TLDs, in which the DNS only provides a mapping between domain names and IP addresses.<br/><br/> * Can I protect my private data?<br/><br/> The .tel enables you to protect your private data, allowing it to be seen only by people you authorize. For more information, please see How do I protect my Private Data.<br/>

Buying .tel<br/><br/> * When can I buy a .tel domain?<br/><br/> Registering .tel domains will occur in three phases: Sunrise, Landrush and General Availability. For more information on each phase see Launch Information.<br/><br/> * How can I buy a .tel domain?<br/><br/> You can only purchase your .tel domain online through an ICANN accredited registrar. Telnic will publish a list of all participating registrars at launch.<br/><br/> * Can I buy a .tel domain in advance?<br/><br/> No pre-registration is available. Anyone offering advance registration is not authorized to do so.<br/><br/> * How much will a .tel domain name cost?<br/><br/> Prices for a .tel domain name will vary from registrar to registrar, but should remain comparable with the prices for other popular domain names.<br/><br/> * For what term can I buy a .tel domain?<br/><br/> Typically, registrars will allow you to register domain names for up to 10 years.<br/><br/> * How will trademarks be protected?<br/><br/> A preferential registration period called Sunrise will allow trademark owners to protect their intellectual property.<br/><br/> * What are the restrictions on a .tel domain?<br/><br/> The minimum number of characters in a .tel domain is 3 and the maximum number is 63 not including the .tel suffix. Every domain must contain at least one letter from a-z or "A to Z" in standard US ASCII script. No domain can begin or end with a hyphen nor can a domain have a hyphen in the 3rd and 4th position. A .tel domain may not consist purely of digits. The .tel naming conventions are described in detail in the Acceptable Use Policy.<br/><br/> * Can I transfer or sell a .tel domain name?<br/><br/> You can sell or transfer a .tel domain just as you would with other domain names.<br/><br/> * How do I resolve a dispute regarding a .tel domain name?<br/><br/> .tel domain names are subject to the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), which establishes a procedure for resolving many trademark disputes relating to domain names. More information on the (UDRP) is available.<br/>

Being a long-time hard-core DNS geek, this one will be interesting...
|
|
|
you said you're shipping - who is implementing it?
|
|
|
Hollywood product placement?
|
|
|
folding would break it?
|
|
|
I'll look for it.
