It's very hard to be upside down on a $7 investment.

You know that's not what I meant.
I was referring specifically to having your contact information on a .tel domain v. placing your contact information on your main website.
I just think .tel is a waste of money like most of the other new extensions. You shouldn't have to keep up with the latest extensions. The total yearly renewal fees for these can definitely be spent more wisely in other places.
Of course companies should try and maximize the return on their advertising/promotion dollars.
I think businesses should take great care with these dollars, however.
I mean, it may seem like a great idea, but why .tel?
What about if .contact, .email, .directions, .maps, .phone, .cell, .fax, .website all come along? Do you really think businesses should register each of these just to "duplicate" efforts?
EXAMPLE: Google.tel
Do you really need .tel to redirect you to .com?
