How IANA should not fuck up .tel (Score 1)

If IANA goes with a .tel domain, they better use E.164 formatted numbers with ENUM. Anything less would make them complete fucking retards and result in .tel becoming a fantastic failure. Using ENUM will allow anyone in the world with a phone number to have their own unique internet domain, and the telcos provisioning the numbers would be responsible for making the associated domain available to the phone number's assignee. Whip up a site at that number and you could run an applet to receive voip calls to your line via the fucking website... how awesome would that be? 10-digit NANPA numbers should be directly accessible under .tel; for example, www.212-555-1212.tel would be a New York City number. Non-NANPA schemes could be accessed using the country's domestic numbering scheme followed by a country code; a typical London number could be expressed as www.020-1234-5678.uk.tel. Or alternatively, you could type the E.164 format to reach either number, such as www.011-212-555-1212.tel, or www.44-020-1234-5678.tel. As mobile internet improves, you would alternatively see more and more .tel sites being hosted directly on the recipient's device. Imagine typing in a phone number in your browser and it takes you directly to a hosted page on the actual phone. You could leave a text message or a voicemail without having to dial the number and possibly disturb the recipient, or choose to place a voip call if you really do want to bug them. But all of this will be pointless if they fuck it up and go with first/last names.
