Totally right attitude.
To answer your question - I don't know whether it has business application, but I assume it does. Having "COMPANYNAME.tel" on mobile devices is easier to remember and maintain.

You can certainly do anything you want with a .COM, BUT I think you have to design the site/page in a specific way to have your site accessible on mobile devices (and displayed properly). That's where .TEL cuts the cost.

Again, I will agree that if you are a large company or if you care about your brand enough (if your name is critical to your business success), then getting .TEL is a no brainer! Its better to invest $10/year in it than to have your customers confused later on.

Well said.
I guess not everyone sees use in .TEL, and that's exactly why it hasn't caused that much hype yet.
