.tel REALLY IS .dead
The other day I received the official email from ICANN regarding my recent sTLD application for .tel.
The email reinforced an "update" I received at the end of July, which at that time said .tel was more or less .dead.
It turns out that even if I had spent months preparing this application ICANN still would have said "no" because they see ".tel" creating conflict with "e164.arpa."
After carefully reading the ICANN response, it felt pretty consistent to what I would have expected if I applied for early admissions to ICANN University. ;-)
Oh well.
At least there are other ways to approach widespread adoption of public ENUM without the use of a new sTLD.
