TELNIC HAVE LET DOWN SO MANY PEOPLE AND MUST GO !

[<mikeseaton88@xxxxxxxxx>]

Telnic have let down ICANN with minimal and falling registrations going from 
333,891 on 1 March 2011 to 103,482 today
- see http://www.hosterstats.com/DomainNameCounts2011.php  and 
http://registrarstats.com/TLDDomainCounts.aspx


Telnic have let down their Investors who are faced with $35,000,000 going down 
the drain- see http://www.teltalk.org/t628-35000000-down-the-drain#3202

Telnic and their 100% owned subsidiary Telnames had a Negative Combined Net 
Worth of £-339,176 (£2,976,131 + £-3,315,307) on 31 December 2014

http://www.teltalk.org/t4459-telnic-s-yearly-accounts-history#15833
The accounts due at Companies House on 27 September 2016 may well show even 
worse financial figures.


Telnic abandoned their Roadmap on 1 July 2011 with the vast majority of the 
enhancements undelivered

Telnic have let down Companies House with their “cunning moves”
- see http://www.teltalk.org/t1733-telnic-pulls-a-cunning-move#11006

Telnic will not listen to the .Tel Community

Telnic has lost their Chief Technology Officer Henri Asseily who was 
responsible for the “Data in the DNS” development

Many Telnic employees have now left

Telnic Never Learns from its Mistakes
- see http://www.teltalk.org/t564p16-does-telnic-never-learn#2810

Telnic let down their Registrars by creating a 100% owned subsidiary Telnames 
to sell the new Telnames format direct to end users, but prevented their own 
Registrars from selling it. Telnic/Telnames CEO Khashayar Mahdavi still uses 
this format himself at http://Kash.tel but new users can no longer register it

Telnic have let down everyone by refusing to consider interest from a very 
successful and established internet company already running many TLDs
- see http://www.teltalk.org/t4387p8-afilias-wants-to-buy-failed-gtld#15215

IMO WHAT NEEDS TO HAPEN NOW:
1. Telnic must NOT be allowed to renew the .Tel Registry.
2. The .Tel Registry needs to be assigned to a successful domain company such 
as http://Afilias.info
3. As the “Data in the DNS” concept has failed .Tel should be opened up to 
operate as a normal gTLD.
