There is a misunderstanding about what telephone services may be on the internet
and what an average user may expect from a ".tel" address.Let assume the address
"http://12001234567.tel"
This address is an http protocol adress: people are assuming
accessing a web page.
The address ftp://120012345678.tel is an ftp adress: people
are assuming dowloading a file.
Telephony is a service. To call the IBM operator,
I am expecting to use the adress "tel://ibm.com". Any other system would be:
-
misleading
- a costly duplication of existing resources
- anti-novative.
