% There are two proposals for .tel; here's text from one of them:
%
% Sub-domains of ".tel" may not be arbitrarily defined; rather
% they are defined in accordance with the ITU E.164 standard.
% A valid e164 domain name under the ".tel" TLD is defined
% as follows:
%
% Start with a telephone number: 1-212-332-1234.
%
% Remove all non-numeric characters: 12123321234.
%
% Reverse the order of the number: 43212332121.
%
% Separate by dots: 4.3.2.1.2.3.3.2.1.2.1.
%
% Add the sTLD: 4.3.2.1.2.3.3.2.1.2.1.tel.
%
% That looks like an ENUM competitor to me. (The other .tel proposal
% looks like a generic TLD at first reading.)
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
This is -exactly- the tpc.int. model,
the e164.int. model,
the e164.arpa. model...
in a phrase... "lacks traction"
